While my baby lay sleeping, an angel slipped past
Babe, I miss you
Get along, get along, get along
And with one breath said I'm taking him back
Had me a sweet one, I tell no lie
And I'm still your wild frontier"
Get along, get along, get along, oh
Get along, get along, get along
Saved all our wages, put ten percent down
Get along, get along, get along
And he was my wild frontier
And he was my wild frontier
Get along, get along, get along
And places far from here
I held him through my tears
To his Father in Heaven
And sometimes at night
And I was his lonesome prairie
I've been stripped down bare 'til I break
Leavin' civilization
Then one Calgary morning still as glass
Through gravel and ice and new fallen snow
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along, oh
Summer nights in the cornfields when the corn gets so high
I swear I can hear him calling out so clear
Until early December
Get along, get along, get along
He says, "You were my lonesome prairie
Still the wheel keeps turning
Harvested peaches in a small border town
Get along, get along, get along
We traveled clear across Wichita headin' north
And there were highways to get across
Oh get along here
Because I was his lonesome prairie
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along
I never thought I'd see the world through a child's eyes
