I like this country, though at times I wish for the ocean
The thing I miss the most is someone to talk to
The country is overpoweringly beautiful
This certainly could be a glorious world

I don’t have to pay for gasoline or haircuts
But my clothes and my shoes must be all the time replaced
Good music’s hard to find, unless you have money
This certainly could be a glorious world

Why should people mean so little to one another
Neglected opportunities are piled as high as the sky

I hope I soon can buy good horses and a saddle
I’ll never stop wandering, and when it’s time to die
I’ll find me the wildest, loneliest spot there is
This certainly could be a glorious world
This certainly could be a glorious world
