When I was young like you boy, I was a wild one Cow punchin' drifter just a saddle to my name Rode herd from Sweet Grass County to El Paso Breathed the dust of every mile between on any bronc that I could tame The beauty of the mountains filled my young heart Ancient rivers and the moonlight cleared my eyes But I never felt the flame until I saw her Poetry in vision 'neath the wide Wyoming skies In her arms I'd soar through Charlie Russell Clouds Blessed colors that could disappear if you spoke their names out loud Bed made by a meadow 'neath the mountain's reaching shadows She would paint the sky with Charlie Russell Clouds Good love can last a lifetime and that's my story Spent that summer building dreams like some old tale Come Spring she crossed the Bighorn on to glory And I followed her memory back down Goodnight-Loving trail In her arms I rode through Charlie Russell Clouds Blessed colors that could disappear if you spoke their names out loud In a bedroll by a meadow 'neath the mountain's reaching shadows I'd dream of love and Charlie Russell Clouds Now I catch myself ramblin' like some used up metaphor A life spent bustin' broncs and saddle sore Me and these old horses don't get out much anymore Close my tired eyes and find the arms I'm achin' for And we float through Charlie Russell Clouds Blessed colors that could disappear if you spoke their names out loud In a bed made by a meadow 'neath the mountain's reaching shadows I dream of love and Charlie Russell Clouds There's shades of sky you won't believe until you see 'em Past eighty years I've seen the way they change Now the cities grow like prairie fires and the highways rush to meet 'em Come spring I just might saddle up and chase that fadin' range In her arms I'll soar through Charlie Russell Clouds Blessed colors that could disappear if you spoke their names out loud Bedroll by a meadow 'neath the mountain's stretching shadows I 'II dream of love and Charlie Russell Clouds Sweet green grass and love and Charlie Russell Clouds
