Shadows fall on the prairie
Day is done and the sun 
Is slowly Fading out of sight
I can hear, oh, so clear
A call that echoes in the night
Yes, I hear sweet and clear
The call of the faraway hills


There's no rest on the prairie
There's no rest for a restless soul
That just was born to roam
Who can say, maybe way out there
My heart may find a home
And I hear sweet and clear
The call of the faraway hills


There are trails I've never seen
And my dreams are getting lean
And beyond the sunset
There are brand new thrills
When a new dream or two
May just be one star away
I must obey the call of the faraway hills


I must obey the call of the faraway hills
