Lookin' out over yonder mountain

Lookin' out over waves of grain

Lookin' out across the prairie

Lookin' out at an endless chain

Lookin' out at the wide open spaces

Lookin' out at the valleys alone

Lookin' out with a hungry perspective

Lookin' out with the will to know

The waters led to the promised land

Seas of greed washed upon its shore

White footprints in unsettling sand

Mark the ways of the ignorant man

See a train trace the horizon

See this ridge trace these lanes

See this wheel turnin' direction

See the wind in the rattlin' cane

See a face in the spirits of old

See the longhorn at home on the range

See the emptiness in searchin' for gold

See the beauty in the treasures we hoard

The waters led to the promised land

Seas of greed washed upon its shore

White footprints in unsettling sand

Mark the ways of the ignorant man

The waters led to the promised land

Seas of greed washed upon its shore

White footprints in unsettling sand

Mark the ways of the ignorant man

The waters led to the promised land

Seas of greed washed upon its shore

White footprints in unsettling sand

Mark the ways of the ignorant man
