(Walt Meskell, Tim Martin). . [Spoken]. I found her settin' on a Sioux City park bench, on a late November afternoon. Me, I was just driftin' through. She said she was fourteen, and runnin' away from home. And no, she wouldn't mind some company. So I sat down and smoked my last cigarette; she pulled out a candy bar. And we started talkin' about the hows and the whys, and we watched the first snow start to fall..
(Chip Davis, Bill Fries). . Now how many peppers did Peter Piper pick ta get himself a peck a' pickled peppers? But more importantly, how many pickles do you get in a peck, when you can't find no peppers ta pick? And furthermore, who wants a pickle that's made from a pepper by a guy named Peter Piper? And in conclusion, how many pipers do you know that pick pickles? And how many Peters are pickled?.
(Goebel Reeves). . Go to sleep, you weary hobo. Let the towns drift slowly by. Can't you hear the steel rail hummin'?. That's a hobo's lullaby. . Do not think about tomorrow.
(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis). . [Spoken]. Way out in the canyons of the West, there's a wild river. The Spanish named it San Buenaventura; but we knew it as the Green..
When rivers ran blue up on the mountain. And rivers ran green out on the plain. When the river ran red in Glenwood Canyon. It was only a matter of time.
(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis). . [The sound of a lonely harmonica.]. . The dance hall is silent and empty. The banjos don't play anymore. The music is only a mem'ry.
(Bill Fries, Chip Davis). . We is screamin' through the valley. Where the Nishnabotna flows. Through the mud and crud and cornfields. Where the mari-ju-wana grows.
(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis). . [Chorus]. Four wheel cowboy. Four wheel cowboy. Four wheel cowboy. Jeepin' down to Santa Fe. . Well, Denver town an' I'm outta the chute.
Well, now, I been hearin' you're concerned about my happiness. But all a' that thought you're a-givin' me is conscience, I guess. If I was walkin' in your shoes I wouldn't worry none.
One day about four or five years ago. We is settin' at the Conoco station. Kickin' tires, and swattin' flies. And discussin' the state of the Union. .
Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June. In a Kenworth pullin' logs. Cab-over Pete with a reefer on. And a Jimmy haulin' hogs. We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh.
'Way up in the snow. Where the scrub oaks grow. And the coneys and the picas play. Where the marmots abound. All a-diggin' in the ground. And the wind blows cold all day.
