  • Hangin' with Colter Wall in Madison, near Nashville, over at Hank Snow's old house. Hank was another Canadian who came to Nashville playing country songs. He played the first North American written version of that ever famous song, "I Been Everywhere Man", adding a number of Canadian towns to the mix in his hit 1962 version. Anyhow, never get tired of hearing Colter play his songs. He's a humble, hard touring fellow. On such a tour schedule, this song about longing for the plains of home is no doubt a true story. Hope he finds some time to relax at the ranch this year.
    This is a song off his new record, "Songs of the Plains".

    Forever I wander, forever I stray
    The rustle of wheat fields starts callin' my name
    Callin' my name
    Let me die in the country that I love the most
    I'm a plain-to-see plainsman, and this I will boast
    A heart that lies far from the East or West Coast
    This plain-to-see plainsman is longin' for home
    Longin' for home
    Well the North-folk are dandy, they don't mind the cold
    The South has filled up both my belly and soul
    I know when I'm gray and I know when I'm old
    These bones will cry out for the place they were born
    Place they were born
    Let me die in the country that I love the most
    I'm a plain-to-see plainsman, and this I will boast
    A heart that lies far from the East or West Coast
    This plain-to-see plainsman is longin' for home
    Longin' for home
    I've met beautiful women, a pleasure to see
    Road-bitten bikers and barefoot hippies
    Junkies and saints on my travels I greet
    But far too few are homesick young plainsmen like me
    Plainsmen like me
    Let me die in the country that I love the most
    I'm a plain-to-see plainsman, and this I will boast
    A heart that lies far from the East or West Coast
    This plain-to-see plainsman is longin' for home
