Verse 1.
If I hadn’t seen a crimson sunset turn the world `to a shimmering dream
If I hadn’t heard the canyon towhee bird sing his song for me
Wide open spaces that fill me up and leave me feeling blessed
Oh, I could’ve lived any place in the world if I hadn’t seen the West

Verse 2.
There’s a river that spills through Sedona’s hills where the red rock
looks over the green
And above Santa Fe’s hills of sage is the bluest sky that I’ve ever seen
Canyons that echo – echo back to me say, “Your wandering heart can rest.”
Oh, I could’ve lived any place in the world if I hadn’t seen the West

Bridge:
Oh, I like the south there’s something about sweet honeysuckle in June
I’ve been north and the east has its charm, and darn they’ve got the same moon.

Verse 3.
But there’s nothing quite like a desert night with the sound of Spanish guitars
I get a thrill just being alive under a blanket of stars
When I fall in love I hope he’s a cowboy at heart for I confess
Oh, I could’ve lived any place in the world if I hadn’t seen the West,
Oh, I could’ve lived any place in the world if I hadn’t seen the West,
The West............
