Blackland Prairies

[Chorus]
Wish I was in the prairies
Where the heavens always shine
Prayin' on a wagon train
To take me down the line
Well it’s worth my weight in silver
And it's worth my weight in gold
It's worth my weight in diamonds
But I swear nobody knows

[Verse 2]
I once loved a woman
And she did not know my name
She never even asked me
But I loved her just the same

[Verse 3]
If I never knew her comfort
Then I might as well be dead
A nail to hang my hat on
And a place to lay my head

[Verse 4]
So if I die tomorrow
Won’t you find me where I roam
Through the world that I have traveled
To the prairies I called home

[Verse 5]
They can have my last green dollar
I just don't give a damn
But if they're gonna take it
Better pry it from my hands

[Chorus]
Wish I was in the prairies
Where the heavens always shine
Prayin' on a wagon train
To take me down the line
Well I'm worth my weight in silver
And I'm worth my weight in gold
I'm worth my weight in diamonds
But I swear nobody knows
