Wind whispers through the cottonwood, a lonesome kind of tune
Rustlin' leaves like cattle movin' 'neath a harvest moon
This old porch swing creaks a song, a melody of time
Every groan a memory, etched in the weathered pine

Sittin' on the front porch, 'neath a Texas sky
Reminiscin' 'bout the days gone by (gone by)
The sound of hooves on dusty trails
Livin' free with the wind in my sails

My old ranch, a faded dream, a brand upon my soul
Dusty trails and starry nights, stories yet untold
Wranglin' steers and mendin' fences, beneath a canvas sky
This land's a part of me, and I, a part of why

Sunrise paints the canyons gold, dust devils dance and sway
Heard a coyote's mournful cry at the break of day
Rode my faithful Appaloosa, across the sunbaked plains
Every wrinkle on this land, holds echoes of my name

I miss the smell of hay and the horses' neigh
The crisp morning air at the break of day (break of day)
Ridin' fences, mendin' broken hearts
My old ranch, where true love starts

My old ranch, a faded dream, a brand upon my soul
Dusty trails and starry nights, stories yet untold
Wranglin' steers and mendin' fences, beneath a canvas sky
This land's a part of me, and I, a part of why

Oh, my old ranch, where time stood still
Every fencepost holds a memory, it always will
Through the laughter and the tears, the joy and the pain
My old ranch, I'll always remain

City lights may beckon bright, with promises of gold
But this dirt beneath my boots, is where my heart unfolds
There's peace in every prairie song, a freedom in the breeze
And the whisper of the cottonwood, brings me to my knees

My old ranch, a faded dream, a brand upon my soul
Dusty trails and starry nights, stories yet untold
Wranglin' steers and mendin' fences, beneath a canvas sky
This land's a part of me, and I, a part of why

Yeah, this land's a part of me, and I, a part of why
My old ranch, forevermore, beneath this endless sky
