Boundary County Lyrics

Say hello to Boundary County
If you make it up that way
I don�t get around as much
As I did in my younger days

I was raised in that country
So pure and so fair
But I took too hard to the whiskey
And I wandered away from there.

I miss the barbed wire and the sage
On that wild northern range
The giant, staring sky
Like a bright, tragic blue eye
Why I left I can�t say why I can�t say why

Say hello to Boundary County for me
She�s prettier than dreams
If you�ve been someplace so far away
Then you�ve really seen some things
Those miles and miles of steel rails
Are a one-way track
And no matter how hard I try
I never make it back
I never make it back

I miss those violet hills
And the sweet smell of the fields
Reach their arms out so wide
Like heaven�s only bride
Why I left I can�t say why
I can�t say why

Every man serves his time
I know I�ve done my share
And when that old roll is called
You will find me there
In Boundary County,
If you make it up that way
I don�t get around as much
As I did in my younger days
