Round up’s the same year after year

Wherever you are

But a cowboy’s heart belongs to the night

In the voice of the big guitar

Wranglin’ or ropin’ the job doesn’t care

When your mind wanders there

To a lady in town and a star in the night

Where the wind and the coyotes howl

Chorus

Yippi ta ya yo

Yippi ta ya ye

And a cowboy’s heart belongs to the night

In the voice of the big guitar

Dust from the dogies burns hot in the day

Sand and sun in your eyes

Sore in the saddle and thinkin’ of you

And the nights with you in sight

The moon is a-dancin’ the stars are romancin’

This wrangler from afar

Our love was born of the prairie and stars

In the voice of the big guitar
