[Verse 1] The memories are sweet Of that old Deming dust and home Where sunrise found cowboys on their way The pastures spread out green Herds moving slow and strong We rode the fence lines of town Testing courage Learning independence [Pre-Chorus] But as years roll by And trails change My little range has to change too And Deming trails fade Into a sweet memory A strong pull at my heart each day [Chorus] Let’s enjoy this trail now Like we enjoyed that cowboy town We bring strength to these new rides We know how wide this world can be We sing by the firelight With that twinkle in our eye Sweet Deming and saddle skies Sweet Deming and saddle skies [Verse 2] They hunt no more For the dove and the deer out here In the deserts and mountains near We sang on dusty porches together Old bunkhouse swing School days Driving in a beat-up car Such joy released Like these rides would never end We did not know How precious these moments were [Bridge] Yes Those times with friends and family Are treasured And kept like a worn-out hat In our hearts The time has come When the young ones all must ride From a trailhead gift We never realized [Chorus] Let’s enjoy this trail now Like we enjoyed that cowboy town We bring strength to these new rides We know how wide this world can be We sing by the firelight With that twinkle in our eye Sweet Deming and saddle skies Sweet Deming and saddle skies [Outro] Oh thank you friends Oh thank you family Oh thank you God Yes thank you God For every wide-open land Amen
