[Verse]
Dusty trails underfoot sunburnt sky overhead
Winds whisper through the sage ancient stories never said
Buffalo roam like shadows longhorns stare me down
Elk call from the distance echo in this sacred ground
[Verse 2]
Rocks crumble beneath boots secrets buried deep
Every climb every stumble memories I’ll always keep
Fishing by the river calm waters hold my dreams
Cast a line into the past where everything still gleams
[Chorus]
Wichita mountains hold my soul grip it tight
Every stone every shadow pulls me back to the fight
Time can't erode what these hills have seen
Wichita whispers in my veins forever evergreen
[Verse 3]
Morning breaks on the ridge light cuts through the haze
The horizon stretches wide sets my heart ablaze
Wildflowers push through cracks stubborn roots won't die
In this rugged beauty I find my reasons why
[Bridge]
Every elk bugle every thunderous hoove beat
Speaks a language older than this ground beneath my feet
The mountain air bites sharp reminds me I’m alive
In this harsh but holy place I’ve learned to survive
[Chorus]
Wichita mountains hold my soul grip it tight
Every stone every shadow pulls me back to the fight
Time can't erode what these hills have seen
Wichita whispers in my veins forever evergreen
