I swear I can hear him calling out so clear
I never thought I'd see the world through a child's eyes
He says, "You were my lonesome prairie
And places far from here
While my baby lay sleeping, an angel slipped past
Get along, get along, get along
Still the wheel keeps turning
Until early December

Get along, get along, get along

And I was his lonesome prairie
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along
And sometimes at night
Get along, get along, get along
Saved all our wages, put ten percent down
Babe, I miss you
Because I was his lonesome prairie
And he was my wild frontier
Summer nights in the cornfields when the corn gets so high

Get along, get along, get along

Through gravel and ice and new fallen snow

I held him through my tears

Get along, get along, get along, oh
And with one breath said I'm taking him back
Leavin' civilization
And there were highways to get across
To his Father in Heaven
Get along, get along, get along, oh
Get along, get along, get along
And he was my wild frontier
Get along, get along, get along
Harvested peaches in a small border town
I've been stripped down bare 'til I break

Had me a sweet one, I tell no lie
Get along, get along, get along
And I'm still your wild frontier"
We traveled clear across Wichita headin' north
Oh get along here
Then one Calgary morning still as glass
Get along, get along, get along
