Wasatch Front (lyrics)

Left my desert hometown when I was just a child
spent some time on the San Fran line
yeah I spent some time out in the wild
Flew out to Wyoming, singing home, home on the range
High mountain plains, yellow grass and sage
shouldn't have felt so strange

Arizona marriage and some Arizona kids
Under an old saguaro is where my wife's heart lives
Still spent every summer--and I guess we always will--
Out here in the shadow of the everlasting hills

Along the Wasatch Front, everything is easy
On the Wasatch Front I'm home

Walking down the canyon to the valley of my birth
I've never seen the grass so green
anywhere else on earth
Standing at the graveside now of David Ray and Bee
Grandpa was a thinker
Grandma taught me to sing

On the Wasatch Front, everything is easy
Along the Wasatch Front I'm home

Pappa used to say, "Cache valley is the most beautiful place in the world"
I'd agree, it's a sight
But seeing my dad with my two little boys
and my mom with my sweet little girl
It's like I said-- Everything's alright

Along the Wasatch Front, everything is easy
on the Wasatch Front, I'm home.
