lyrics

Take me back to the place that I love, the place I ran free
Where the days and the nights last so long, the place of my dreams

Oh but all good things must come to an end
So I'll pray that I can see you again

Oh my bones have an ache, but my soul is awake
And it just might kill me to leave
Oh Yellowstone, you are my home, sweet home

Can you picture a wide, open sky? As far as the sea
With the mountains and trees as your guide, you learn to just be

But the summer's gone and come to an end
So I'll pray that I can you see again

Oh my bones have an ache, but my soul is awake
And it just might kill me to leave
Oh Yellowstone, you are my home, sweet home

One day I'll be stuck in my rocking chair, so old and gray
And they might ask, "What did you do out West?"
And I'll smile and say,

"Oh my bones had an ache, but my soul was awake
And it just about killed me to leave
Oh Yellowstone, you are my home, sweet home."

Oh Yellowstone, forever my home
Oh Yellowstone, forever my home
