Song by Elvis Presley<br /><br>

Joy Byers<br>

<br>

This proud wild land where the wind blows free<br>

Has always been a part of me<br>

Its in my blood, I just cant get it out<br>

For a hundred miles a man can see<br>

And be about as wild as he wants to be<br>

If he feels like shouting all hes gotta do is shout<br>

<br>

Where the purple mountains reach up high<br>

And look like theyre gonna touch the sky<br>

Where the canyon walls have stood for a million years<br>

Where the days are hot, the nights are cold<br>

The desert sand looks just like gold<br>

These trails were carved in sweat and blood and tears<br>

<br>

Where the painted desert as you pass by<br>

Looks like a rainbow in the sky<br>

The cactus blooms in the early morning sun<br>

Where the nightwings sing and eagles fly<br>

The clouds paint pictures in the sky<br>

The coyotes howl tells you when the day is done<br>

<br>

Im coming home, this time Im gonna stay<br>

Im coming home and I aint never goin away<br>

My feet are itching to get back home<br>

Ive had the desert fever since Ive been gone<br>

I need some loving so bad that I cant see<br>

When a woman looks a man in the eye<br>

You know it takes a man to satisfy<br>

Thinking about them girls is killing me<br>

<br>

Im going home, going home<br>

Going home, Im going home<br>

Going home, going home<br>

Going home<br>

<br>
