Say hello to boundary county

If you make it up that way

I don't get around as much

As I did in my younger days

I was raised in that country

So pure and so fair

But I took too hard to the whiskey

And I wandered away from there

I miss the barbed wire and the sage

On that wild northern range

The giant

Staring sky

Like a bright

Tragic blue eye

Why I left I can't say why I can't say why

Say hello to boundary county for me

She's prettier than dreams

If you've been someplace so far away

Then you've really seen some things

Those miles and miles of steel rails

Are a one way track

And no matter how hard I try

I never make it back

I never make it back

I miss those violet hills

And the sweet smell of the fields

Reach their arms out so wide

Like heaven's only bride

Why I left I can't say why

I can't say why

Every man serves his time

I know I've done my share

And when that old roll is called

You will find me there

In boundary county

If you make it up that way

I don't get around as much

As I did in my younger days
