[00:00.153]	Talkin' prairie boy
[00:28.519]	Buddy's old man is back on the booze
[00:30.416]	He's swinging a driver at a big bull moose
[00:32.545]	That keeps getting on the goddamn property
[00:34.686]	Or so he says
[00:38.182]	Cigarettes are expensive and whiskey ain't cheap
[00:40.246]	And winters are bitter but the summers are sweet
[00:42.590]	And you can get some modestly priced smokes over at the Rez
[00:47.422]	If you're so inclined
[00:54.655]	Most of my time is spent in a big blue van
[00:56.688]	Just traveling the country with a five piece band
[00:59.067]	Pick a little for the folks and sing when I can
[01:01.031]	Granted I'm sober
[01:07.220]	And other days are for meant for chorin'
[01:08.757]	Just workin' at the ranch to stave off boredom
[01:10.950]	And keeping the calves from finding new ways to keel over
[01:16.116]	Just living the dream
[01:23.322]	I was cooling my heels down in Tennessee
[01:25.615]	Post 82, some buddies and me
[01:27.558]	And we were shooting the shit till we ran out of ammunition
[01:35.453]	Some dude overheard from across the room
[01:37.335]	Instead of minding his own he'd just as soon
[01:40.031]	Sit down next to us and join in on the conversation
[01:44.915]	Brought over some kinda beer
[01:47.259]	Something called a I-P-A
[01:54.116]	East Nashville kid in a cowboy hat
[01:56.075]	And he couldn't tell a shoe lace from a lariat
[01:58.044]	And the furthest west he'd ever been is Ohio
[02:03.949]	He's talking at me, says he's looking for work
[02:05.839]	And he don't mind getting some dirt on his shirt
[02:08.130]	And would I be so kind as to hire him on, well, oh, my oh
[02:13.363]	Surprised he didn't bring a resume
[02:22.300]	He says If you're doing fence then I ain't for hire
[02:24.685]	And if you're doing hay, then frankly, I wouldn't conspire
[02:27.169]	To ask me about doing that either
[02:31.225]	I said what are ya good for? He said plenty
[02:33.203]	I could see this conversation wasn't going any which way
[02:35.797]	And figured I'd do well to leave here
[02:39.729]	So long buddy
[02:44.142]	You can keep your IPAs
[02:52.006]	Yeah, this city life's sure got me tired
[02:54.008]	And it's hard for a prairie boy to admire all the
[02:56.731]	Concrete and the towering skyscrapers
[03:01.672]	So just as soon as I'm able to find my hat
[03:03.714]	I believe I'll leave and head on back
[03:05.495]	Home where the tallest buildings are all grain elevators
[03:09.871]	Long gone to Saskatchewan
[03:16.760]	Yeah, I'm outta this place and bound for the farm
[03:18.796]	I ain't taking no greenhorn along
[03:20.665]	I have a hard enough time just keeping track of myself
[03:28.450]	If you're in Nashville trying to look cool
[03:30.765]	But ya can't tell a pretty palomino from a mule
[03:32.825]	Take my advice and leave the buckaroo hat on the shelf
