as I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
this land was made for you and me

I've been along, been a lonesome soul
I traveled down your way high road
and if you go, I travel on
pass summer sun, pass summer sun

I never knew your stories old
no lonesome night so dark and cold
I travel on your way high road
and stories told, and stories told

in fire light, not lonesome, no
come starry sky, come lead me on
I'm in your arms, someday you'll know
and take me home, and take me home

I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
to the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
and all around me a voice was sounding
this land was made for you and me
