Look here man, high above I am lookin' from the ridge You know I am standing as the top bull above the range Man it is lonely here, watching from this mountain crown You know I just want to walk down below along the valley ground Look here, green grass rolls across this land and I hold the highest name man You know I alone just watch the ladies playing this heifer game Man, anywhere would be much better than this high and windy peak And a heavy heart awaiting, for, you know, the range is a lonely one Look here man, won't that lonely ridge be a cold and empty space After standing over, you know, every lower grazing place Man, I know just where i'll be making my bedding grace As top Bull you know Jack will be the top bidders place Walkin' on down, yea boy, i'm walkin on down that lovely ridge to what I please Walkin' on down, yea boy, i'm walkin' on down
