Intro
Verse 1
You Can Take Him Off The Plains, But The Plains Live In Him
Like A Moccasin, Sittin' With His Riverbend Venom
Gets Into Your Blood And Remains 'Til You Die
Verse 2
You Can Call Him Off The Mountain, But The Mountain Stays Callin'
Call Him On His Bluff, But He's Always All In
Killin' Coyotes, Know A Country Boy Can Survive
Chorus
So Where Would You Go When You Need Someone Honest?
What Would You Wish If You Only Had A Comet?
Would You Understand The Beauty Of A Barren Land?
If It Wasn't For The Hometown, Home Now, Plains Man?
Interlude
Verse 3
You Can Take Him Off The River, But The Rivers Stays Flowin'
Take Him Off The Hook, But The Flier Stays Floatin'
Have A Trout Jumpin' Out, Askin' Where His Old Friends Been
Verse 4
You Can Take Him Off The Law, But The Law Stays Cuttin'
You Can Take Him Off The Hammer, But The Frame Needs Nuttin'
Worker's Hands Bloody, Still Come Back For More
Chorus
Now Here You Go, Cut Out, Runnin'
Bet You Now Doubled Or Nothin'
You'll Never Find The Beauty That'll Beat This Barren Land
Or Another Like Your Hometown Home Now, Plains Man
Interlude
Verse 5
Honeysuckle Choking Out An Old Fence Road
Hardwood Yellow Of A Boat Dock Post
Feelin' That You Got It Right When You Had The Chance
Verse 6
She Ain't Gone If I Can Sit Here With Her
I Feel Her On The Water With A Cold Chill Shiver
Lorrie Let A Cigarette And I Just Headed Home
Chorus
So Where Would You Go When You Need Someone Honest?
What Would You Wish If You Only Had A Comet?
Would You Understand The Beauty Of A Barren Land?
If It Wasn't For The Hometown Home Now, Plains Man?
Instrumental Break
Out-Chorus
Where Would You Go When You Need Someone Honest?
What Would You Wish If You Only Had A Comet?
Would You Understand The Beauty Of A Barren Land?
If It Wasn't For The Hometown Home Now, Plains Man?
