High, Wide and Handsome Songtext
von John Denver

High, wide and handsome
Down from the Great White North
More than enough and then some
Swept her up on his horse

Tumbleweeds were meant to
Get stuck up on a fence
Heaven must have sent you
You′ve got no wire to roll against

Keep her steady, cowgirl
Don't let go of the reins
You are ready now, girl
Never mind the growin′ pains


Worlds out there are waiting
Big and wild as the sky
No more he-si-tating
It's now or never, do or die

Keep her steady, cowgirl
Don't let go of the reins
You are ready now, girl
Never mind the growin′ pains

As hard as you imagined it being without me
We′ll both be wishing it were that easy
Don't give me a pull, give me some room
When this round is through, I′ll be comin' back home

Wide open spaces
Between these two prairie hearts
Wonderin′ where their place is
In a world so far apart


Keep her steady, cowgirl
Don't let go of the reins
You are ready now, girl
Never mind the growin′ pains
