Singin' a Song as I'm a Ridin' Along

Music and lyrics by Paul Nahay.
Lead vocal Steven Andrews.

"I'm singin' a song as I'm a ridin' along
Just me and my horse and the sky!
It's hot on these plains 'cause it don't ever rains,
but I know that I'm a gonna get by.

I'm dirty and tired and my clothes are all torn.
I'm just living day by day.
I smell like I haven't had a bath since I was born.
But I know that everything is ok.

You see, there will be somebody,
waiting for me, and she'll be,
smiling happily, when she hears how I got free.
I can't say how I happened to
get away, but you can bet your boots
I'm here to stay, provided that my ball and chain
don't give me away.

The sheriff's in town and he's a trackin' me down.
He's standin' there outside my door!
He still hasn't won 'long as I've got my gun,
but my bullets are down to four.

Bang! The first bullet missed him by a mile!
Bang! and the second one too!
Bang! That was three, it's either him or me.
Click, goes my gun. The sheriff shoots one. The sheriff hits me.
Guess I only had three.

(whistle)
