When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains   And there's nothing left to do but lay around   I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail   Just to watch the desert sun go down      White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere   Granite spires are standing all around   I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail   Just to watch the desert sun go down      Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down   A picture that no artist 'ere could paint   Cactus plants are bloomin' on the mountain side   I hear a coyote calling to its mate      White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere   Granite spires are standing all around   I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail   Just to watch the desert sun go down      White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere   Granite spires are standing all around   I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail   Just to watch the desert sun go down      When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains   And there's nothing left to do but lay around   I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail   Just to watch the desert sun go down      White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere   Granite spires are standing all around   I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail   Just to watch the desert sun go down
