Now if i may indulge in a bit of personal history, a few years ago i worked for a while at the los alamos scientific laboratory in new mexico. i had a job there as a spy. no, i guess you know th |
|
E staff out there at that time was composed almost exclusively of spies... of one persuasion or another. and, while i was out there, i came to realize how much the wild west had changed since th |
|
D old days of wyatt earp and home on the range, and here then is a modern cowboy ballad commemorating that delightful metamorphosis called the wild west is where i wanna be. |
|
Along the trail you'll find me lopin' |
|
Where the spaces are wide open, |
|
In the land of the old a.e.c. (yea-hah!) |
|
Where the scenery's attractive, |
|
And the air is radioactive, |
|
Oh, the wild west is where i wanna be. |
|
Mid the sagebrush and the cactus, |
|
I'll watch the fellas practice |
|
Droppin' bombs through the clean desert breeze. |
|
I'll have on my sombrero, |
|
And of course i'll wear a pair o' |
|
Levis over my lead b.v.d.'s. |
|
Ah will leave the city's rush, |
|
Leave the fancy and the plush, |
|
Leave the snow and leave the slush |
|
And the crowds. |
|
Ah will seek the desert's hush, |
|
Where the scenery is lush, |
|
How i long to see the mush- |
|
Room clouds. |
|
'mid the yuccas and the thistles |
|
I'll watch the guided missiles, |
|
While the old f.b.i. watches me. (yea-hah!) |
|
Yes, i'll soon make my appearance |
|
(soon as i can get my clearance), |
|
'cause the wild west is where i wanna be. |
