You can take him off the plains, but the plains live in himLike a moccasin, sittin' with his river bend venomGets into your blood and remains 'til you dieYou can call him off the mountainbut the mountain stays callin'Call him on his bluff, but he's always all inKillin' coyotes, know a country boy can surviveSo where would you go when you need someone honest?What would you wish if you only had a comet?Would you understand, beauty of a barren landIf it wasn't for the hometown home now, plains man?You can take him off the river, but the river stays flowin'Take him off the hook, but the fly stays floatin'Have a trout jumpin' out, askin' where his old friend's beenYou can take him off the saw, but the saw stays cuttin'You can take him off the hammer, but the frame needs buttin'Worker his hands bloody, still come back for moreNow here you go, cut out, runnin'Bet you now doubled or nothin'You'll never find the beauty that'll beat this barren landOr another like your hometown home now, plains manHoneysuckle choking out an old fence rowHardwood yellow of a boat dock postFeelin' that you got it right when you had the chanceShe ain't gone if I can sit here with herI feel her on the water with a cold chill shiverLorrie lit a cigarette and I just headed homeWhere would you go when you need someone honest?What would you wish if you only had a comet?Would you understand the beauty of a barren landIf it wasn't for the hometown home now, plains man?Where would you go when you need someone honest?What would you wish if you only had a comet?Would you understand the beauty of a barren landIf it wasn't for the hometown home now, plains man?
