Home Means
Nevada
Written & Music
by Bertha Raffetto
Way
out in the land of the setting
sun,
Where the wind blows wild and
free,
There's a lovely spot, just the
only one
That means home sweet home to
me.
If you follow the old Kit Carson
trail,
Until desert meets the hills,
Oh you certainly will agree with
me,
It's the place of a thousand
thrills.
Home
means Nevada
Home means the hills,
Home means the sage and the
pine.
Out by the Truckee, silvery
rills,
Out where the sun always shines,
Here is the land which I love
the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Deep in the heart of the golden
west
Home means Nevada to me.
Whenever the sun at the close of
day,
Colors all the western sky,
Oh my heart returns to the
desert grey
And the mountains tow'ring high.
Where the moon beams play in
shadowed glen,
With the spotted fawn and doe,
All the live long night until
morning light,
Is the loveliest place I know.
Home
means Nevada
Home means the hills,
Home means the sage and the
pines.
Out by the Truckee's silvery
rills,
Out where the sun always shines,
There is the land that I love
the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Right in the heart of the golden
west
Home means Nevada to me.
