[Verse 1] I saddled up at dawn With a cracked black thermos You were tying hay twine On the west side fence The horses kept the rhythm On the hard red ground And the prairie wore the morning Like a faded dress [Pre-Chorus] If the sky falls low We can still ride slow We got ember hands And nowhere else to go [Chorus] Prairie smoke, prairie smoke Hold me till the dark is broke Coffee gone, horses near Rocky mountains still appear Prairie smoke, prairie smoke If this is all, I still know You and me by the fire glow (yeah, prairie smoke) [Verse 2] We shared that bitter coffee From a dented tin cup Talked about the winter And the fence line rust Your dog ran circles Round my worn-out boots And the pine trees listened To every truth [Pre-Chorus] If the cold comes down We can build it back One old flame On a dry black track [Chorus] Prairie smoke, prairie smoke Hold me till the dark is broke Coffee gone, horses near Rocky mountains still appear Prairie smoke, prairie smoke If this is all, I still know You and me by the fire glow (yeah, prairie smoke) [Bridge] Let the ridge line fade Let the coyotes call I’d rather lose my way Than not feel it all Your hand in mine By the coals and stone If I have one home It’s the road back home [Final Chorus] Prairie smoke, prairie smoke Hold me till the dark is broke Coffee gone, horses near Rocky mountains still appear Prairie smoke, prairie smoke If this is all, I still know You and me by the fire glow (yeah, prairie smoke) [spoken] I sure hope this isn't the last country song [harmonica fade out]
