[Verse 1]
Hitched a ride down south
Wake the man with no teeth
Send your maw a postcard
Tell her that you wore fleece

[Chorus]
Prairie, my heart
Prairie, my heart

[Verse 2]
America is miles of nothing
Under big old skies
Scared as a rabbit
Look in my eyes

[Chorus]
Prairie, my heart
Prairie, my heart

[Refrain]
You got some needle and you got some thread
Got as close as you get to them
Texas is mysterious and lame
But I love her all the same
