There's somethin' about the ocean rising up to meet the shoreline

Somethin' about a river the way it runs to meet the sea

There's somethin' about a rainfall and it's like the gift of living

There's somethin' about that water that makes me sing



Oh somethin' about the mountains rising right straight up to heaven

And somethin' about a canyon in the shade of a cottonwood tree

Somethin' about the desert in the afterglow of evening

There's somethin' about the west that makes me sing



There's somethin' about the way you love me baby

There's somethin' about the way your lips meet mine

There's somethin' about the way you like to touch me

It really turns me on and makes my little light shine



There's somethin' about the way you love me baby

There's somethin' about the way your lips meet mine

There's somethin' about the way you like to touch me

It really turns me on and makes my little light shine



There's somethin' about the forest in the latter days of August

There's somethin' about the country on the very first day of springtime

There's somethin' about a wheatfield, oh you know I love the prairie

There's somethin' about the land that makes me sing
