Plainsman lyrics by Zach Bryan Featuring Turnpike Troubadours

0:14You can take him off the plains, but the plains live in him

0:17Like a moccasin, sittin' with his riverbend venom

0:20Gets into your blood and remains 'til you die

0:27You can call him off the mountain, but the mountain stays calling

0:30Call him on his bluff, but he's always all in

0:34Killing coyotes, know a country boy can survive

0:39So where would you go when you need someone honest?

0:43What would you wish if you only had a comet?

0:47Would you understand, beauty of a barren land

0:53If it wasn't for the hometown, home now, plainsman?

1:12You can take him off the river, but the river stays flowing

1:16Take him off the hook but the fly stays floating

1:19Have a trout jumping out, asking where his old friend's been?

1:25You can take him off the saw, but the saw stays cuttin'

1:28You can take him off the hammer, but the frame needs buttin'

1:31Work his hands bloody, still come back for more

1:37Now here you go, cut out, running

1:41Bet you now, double-or-nothing

1:44You'll never find the beauty that'll beat this barren land

1:50Or another like your hometown, home now, plainsman

1:55♪

2:10Honeysuckle choking out an old fence row

2:13Hardwood yellow of a boat dock post

2:16The feeling that you got it right, when you had the chance

2:22She ain't gone if I can sit here with her

2:25I feel her on the water with a cold chill shiver

2:28Lorrie lit a cigarette, and I just headed home

2:34Where would you go when you need someone honest?

2:38What would you wish if you only had a comet?

2:41Would you understand the beauty of a barren land

2:47If it wasn't for the hometown, home now, plainsman?

2:53♪

3:18Where would you go when you need someone honest?

3:22What would you wish, if you only had a comet?

3:26Would you understand the beauty of a barren land

3:33If it wasn't for the hometown, home now, plainsman?

3:44♪
