Nineteen years of age I woke up one day Tossed my broom and dustpan to the side Looked in the eyes of my dear old mom and papa I said, please don't cry but today I start my life Ten thousand acres, fifty miles from Modown A great big house at least two acres wide Well, he's six feet tall with hair of gold, and eyes as blue as sky He asked me and I said I'd be his bride Together we will tame the devil's hand Break the wildness here and make our stand Then ride into the sunset of his sky blue eyes And will not stop until we've cleared this land Five thousand cattle take their toll on a cowboy When he gets home he's barely half alive But I said I'd stand beside him if only for those blue eyes 'Cause when he asked I swore I'd be his wife Together we would tame the devil's hand Break the wildness here and make our stand Then ride into the sunset of his sky blue eyes And would not stop until we cleared this land Oh, but if we don't stop how much can we stand Oh, I work so hard to make his home a place to hide away Longing for his touch when he returns to me each day Oh, but anger and frustration sent him running to the bottle Oh, I cannot stay Oh, I'm sorry love, I fear I cannot stay Oh, we tried but could not tame the devil's hand Or break the wildness, though we made our stand So I'll ride into the sunset without your sky blue eyes Oh, and I will not stop until I've cleared this land Oh, and I cannot stop until I've cleared this land
