lyrics

JJ ride that horse over range and meadow
Sleep tonight ‘neath the starry light, no need to lock the door
JJ with your three good dogs, keep the coyotes running
Getting by on nickels and dimes
She gets up when the sun is still asleep behind Black Mountain
You know round here there’s always jobs to do
Puts the coffee on the stove and looks out of the window
Pulls her boots and grabs her hat and jacket at the door
Says a bright good morning to the rooster in the yard
Sometimes the living here is hard, this landscape could tear you apart
JJ ride that horse over range and meadow
Sleep tonight by the campfire light, dream among the Columbine
JJ with your three good dogs, keep the coyotes running
Hear them cry in the canyon tonight
Every now and then she takes some folks to see the country
Ride the vale and sleep out on the trail
It goes to pay for living on the range, she likes it when they come and go away
So take your fly and reel and leave a note that you’ve gone fishing
River’s running good and you know just where to go
But you know it won’t be long till the fall has come and gone
Then it will be twenty-two below
JJ ride that horse over range and meadow
Sleep tonight ‘neath the starry light with the snow piled at your door
JJ stoke that fire and keep the boiler running
It’s ten feet deep down by the creek
JJ ride that horse over range and meadow
Sleep tonight ‘neath the starry light, no need to lock the door
JJ with your three good dogs, keep the coyotes running
Getting by on nickels and dimes
