In Boundary County,
As I did in my younger days
Jason Beek: drums
Eilen Jewell: acoustic guitar, vocals
Daniel Kellar: violin
Jerry Miller: lap steel
Johnny Sciascia: upright bass
Say hello to Boundary County
If you make it up that way
I don't get around as much
As I did in my younger days
I was raised in that country
So pure and so fair
But I took too hard to the whiskey
And I wandered away from there.
I miss the barbed wire and the sage
On that wild northern range
The giant, staring sky
Like a bright, tragic blue eye
Why I left I can't say why
I can't say why
Say hello to Boundary County for me
She's prettier than dreams
If you've been someplace so far away
Then you really seen some things
Those miles and miles of steel rails
Are a one-way track
And no matter how hard I try
I never make it back
I miss those violet hills
And the sweet smell of fields
Reach their arms out so wild
Like haven's only bride
Why I left I can't say why
I can't say why
Every man severs his time
I know I've done my share
And when that old roll is called
You will find me there
If you make it up that way
I don't get around as much
