Powder River Home Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

There's a full moon risin' in the prairie sky tonight 

Lord it's good to be on my way home 

Over that horizon, she keeps the home fires burnin' bright 

I'm goin' back to my Powder River home 

Where the river winds from the Big Horn's up above 

And the clear moon shines on the prairie that I love 

It's the closest place to Heaven this cowboy's ever known 

I'm goin' back to my Powder River home 

Travelin' round the country for a dozen years or more 

Funny how your point of view can change 

I finally found the rainbow that I've been searchin' for 

It's right above my home out on the range 

Where the river winds from the Big Horn's up above 

And the clear moon shines on the prairie that I love 

It's the closest place to Heaven this cowboy's ever known 

I'm goin' back to my Powder River home 

I'm goin' back to my Powder River home
