This is a powerful and poetic song about Chet's love for the "Great Plains and Waving Prairies" of the vast Great Plains of America. It is a stellar acoustic guitar track with poetic lyrics, hypnotic vocals and filled with unique dynamics. One reviewer said: "The song, "Waving Prairie", is like a meditation and a prayer. It is a song to be savored and re-played over and over. It's a one-of-a-kind track."

EBBEBE (Same as SMOTHER YOU

 

Off on the waving prairie

The road that brings me home

Is the same road that takes me away

We should all hitchhike once in a while

The feel the need of depending 

And to walk the lowly mile

Get caught in a heavy thunderstorm

On the waving prairie

 

Rebuild the city

Regroup the old stones

Forget the crumbled citadel

And bury all the bones

I’m here and now

Not trying to grow old too soon

I’m gaps that need repair

And I need some wind

Lord, I need some wind

I need some wind to flow

I need some wind to flow

I need some wind to flow

To the waving prairie

 

You can ride I’d rather walk

Try to keep my pace

This sea of land it takes me in

You’d walk if you weren’t in the race

Live and work and try to be free

Do you listen with your mouth

Or do you use your ears?

Live and work and try to be free

Do you listen from without 

Or do you use within?

And bear yourself to a stranger

Live and work

And bear yourself to a stranger

Try to be free

And bear yourself to a stranger

Live and work

And bear yourself from future danger

 

My fingers are the columns that are braced against the sky

My fingers are the music played from my crystal spy

My fingers play the music that makes you laugh and makes you high

My fingers are the mourning of the Ohio six who died

My fingers are the columns that guide and testify

My fingers are the vehicle that get me around

To the waving prairie

Off on the waving prairie

The road that brings me home

Is the same road that takes me away
