Theres a full moon risin in the prairie sky tonight
Lord its good to be on my way home.
Over that hori[a]zon she keeps the home fires burin bright
Im goin back to my powder river home.
Chorus
Where the river winds from the big horns up above
And the clear moon shines on the prairie that I love
Its the closest place to heaven this cowboys ever known
Im goin back to my powder river home.
Travelin round the country for a dozen years or more
Funny how your point of view can change
I finally found the rainbow that Ive been searchin for
Its right above my home out on the range.
Chorus
Im goin back to my powder river home.
