I was born in Amarillo, raised in Oklahoma
Been ridin' and a ropin' since I was only 10
Never went to college, but gained a lot of knowledge

The prairie winds blow lonely,
but I wasn't just the only
Cowpoke who would fall in love
and meet a cowboys dream
She came into town one summer, ridin' a cuttin' horse named "Bummer"
We fell in love and strange as it may seem

I'm Sittin' On A Saddle In Seattle
A cowboy's got to follow,
wherever his heart will lead
When she's home
she works at Starbucks in Seattle
And I'm up on this mountain tendin' sheep

I miss the prairie; love the mountains
And these peaceful bright green valleys
No tumbleweeds a tumblin',
But my work is never down
The raindrops keep a fallin',
while ole Texas keeps a callin'
And I'm up here on this mountain,
just prayin' for some sun

Some folks think it's real sweet,
herdin' all these damn sheep
But I'm here to tell you,
Salmon run this time of year
So I sit here just a wishin',
I was on the river fishin'
With my girl by my side
and a cold 6 pack of beer.

I'm Sittin' On A Saddle In Seattle
A cowboy's got to follow,
wherever his heart will lead
When she's home
she works at Starbucks in Seattle
And I'm up on this mountain tendin' sheep
