There's a full moon risin' in the prairie sky tonight Lord it's good to be on my way home Over that horizon, she keeps the home fires burnin' bright I'm goin' back to my Powder River home
Where the river winds from the Big Horn's up above And the clear moon shines on the prairie that I love It's the closest place to Heaven this cowboy's ever known I'm goin' back to my Powder River home
Travelin' round the country for a dozen years or more Funny how your point of view can change I finally found the rainbow that I've been searchin' for It's right above my home out on the range
Where the river winds from the Big Horn's up above And the clear moon shines on the prairie that I love It's the closest place to Heaven this cowboy's ever known I'm goin' back to my Powder River home I'm goin' back to my Powder River home.
