The trail back from Utah's a long and dusty one Keep looking out for rustlers your hand always on your gun Been driving all them long horns for the best part of a year All I want when the job is done is a town full gals and beer I've got a fistful of dollars and a throat that's awful dry Ain't had me a bath since the start of the drive I sure am smelling high I've been on the trail There's a guy at the piano boy he sure can play He's singing a song 'bout marrying a gal and settling down some day I guess I ain't that fella no it sure ain't me I love my life of freedom out on the big prairie I've got some fancy French cologne I sure won't spend this night alone I'll see the gal at the red eye saloon and sure as hell go crazy I've been on the trail On the trail
