The Wild West
If it’s possible to close my eyes
Then by clicking my heels
I could go back in time anywhere
The Wild West, that’s my deal
Back in time to the gun slinging days
A big iron on my hip
The beer so cheap it’s almost free
A nickel’s a big tip
I want to ride a horse named Sugar
Meet old Buffalo Bill
Walk the streets with Wyatt Earp
Stroll around on Boot Hill
I want to be at OK corral
When the shooting begins
Just be there as part of the crowd
See if the Earp’s will win
I want to belly up to the bar
Put my boot on the rail
Spit into one of brass spittoons
Ask the bar keep for ale
Just experience the Wild West life
Not sure what lies ahead
But when I wake up, I hope to be
Nice and safe in my bed
