Lyrics

Dusty town down Southwest way
my second stop: a summer day.
Couldn't always tell the boys from the girls.
How cool it seemed that no one really cared.

Revelry, good beer and joints:
seemed to me a lot of love was shared.

I don't know why I had to leave
the lazy rhythms of the rodeo way.

Somewhere west I'll find myself a peaceful place.
No desire to leave a mark or trace.
Wide blue skies will settle down my worried mind.
Time to leave the fiction far behind.

Maybe soon one day I'll return:
so many friends are either dead or gone.
Times have changed again and so have I:
one must conform and nod them on to kill!

Marketng has siphoned our minds.
Media has swallowed up our will.

I don't know why I had to leave
the lazy rhythms of the rodeo way.
