Out West

yes, you drive a pick-up
wear your boots and hat
your body's in the city
that's not where your mind's at

you dream of open fences
a meadow for your horse
a stream behind a cabin
stone hearth to keep you warm

the day is getting nearer
when you toss your tie and run
you hear the mountains calling
out west where you belong
