When evening chores are over, at our ranch house on the plain And all I've got to do is lay around I saddle up my pony and go ridin' down the trail To watch the evenin' sun go down Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down A picture that no artist 'ere could paint White-faced cattle lowing, on the mountainside I hear a coyote calling for its mate Cactus plants are bloomin', sagebrush everywhere Granite spires are standin' all around I'll tell you folks it's heaven to be ridin' down the trail When the evenin' sun goes down Cactus plants are bloomin' sagebrush everywhere Granite spires are standin' all around I'll tell you folks it's heaven to be ridin' down the trail When the evenin' sun goes down To watch the evenin' sun go down
