I was raised, born and bred in a prairie town   When a dark eyed woman, really made me, feeling sound   We both had fun in our younger years   Well, I remember, damn well she loved me   And she remembers, damn well she did      Stonegates closing me in   If I get free won't see me again   Stonegates, wish I could be   Back in the country which I was free      I was down, leaving town on a midnight train   When a long legged woman, come walking down platform A   She was lean, barely seen as she came my way   Well, from the prairies on down to the Midwest towns   She's going with me part of the way      Stonegates closing me in   If I get free won't see me again   Stonegates, wish I could be   Back in the country which I was free      Stonegates closing me in   If I get free won't see me again   Stonegates, wish I could be   Back in the country which I was free      I was down, leaving town on a midnight train   When a long legged woman, come walking down platform A   She was lean, barely seen as she came my way   Well, from the prairies on down to the Midwest towns   She's going with me part of the way      Stonegates closing me in   If I get free won't see me again   Stonegates, wish I could be   Back in the country which I was free
