It Don’t Get Better Than This

I been dreamin’
Of a hill by a river
And the west texas breezes blowin’ strong,
And I’m settin’
Good an’ high in the saddle,
And I’m thinkin’ that I’m right where I belong,

And no, it don’t get better than this, I know.
I know, sure as those hills are made to climb.
No, it don’t get better than this, I know,
And I know it’s just a matter of time.

I ain’t jokin’,
You can keep this whole city,
And these people, all unsettled and thin-skinned.
I’ll take a filly,
Break her slow, break her gentle,
Climb up easy, and then ride her like the wind,

And no, it don’t get better than this. I know,
I know, sure as two nickels make a dime
That oh, it don’t get better than this, I know,
And I know it’s just a matter of time.

I ain’t seduced by lights
Or fine, flashy cars.
Give me my quiet nights,
A winter moon,
A vale of stars…

I know, I know, a man was surely meant to roam,
But oh, it don’t get better than this, I know!
I know, in a matter of time,
I’m goin’ home.
I’m goin’ home.
