From the top of Mahogany Ridge you can see forever
D A
And forever is a long, long way
D G D G
The desert rules, the first rule, you've got to know your way back home
D A
And you'll be back to ride another day

And when the night falls the silence all around you
D A
And the beating of your heart is the only sound

Down in some lonley canyon, beside the sagebrush fire

Dreaming of the lights of paradise town

Roll on Owyhee, wild horse heaven

I hope it always will be

Roll on Owyhee

Far across the sagebrush sea

So we'll raise our glasses high to the big Owyhee

we'll have another round for the fellas who still hear the call

you got to play the card that's dealt you

coming off the Mountain Taparedo tall

Roll on Owyhee, wild horse heaven

I hope it always will be

Roll on Owyhee

Far across the sagebrush sea
