Lyrics
You better take an extra bedroll
You're going out on 60
They say the wind is cold there
Coming in off of the shelf
You better take some extra blankets
And take some extra biscuits
Take some extra flour
And a few more shotgun shells
Don't you ever get tired
Of herding up those cattle?
From low to high and high to low
And always changing ground
Don't you ever get tired
Of sitting in that saddle
Staring at the western sky
Watching the sun go down?
They say the blacktop's tore up
Right out through Topeka
They're pulling people over
And the trucks are moving slow
I've got a friend out back
He knows a couple side roads
The troopers stay out of there
And the way stations are closed
Don't you ever get tired
Of herding up those cattle?
From low to high and high to low
And always changing ground
Don't you ever get tired
Of sitting in that saddle
Staring at the western sky
Watching the sun go down?
They found ol' Ray McGuire last week
Up on Jimmy Ridge
He was wrapped up like a mummy
And he was colder than a stone
They say they found his herd
He'd had them fenced and hid
He had several different breeds
And the brands weren't all his own
Don't you ever get tired
Of herding up those cattle?
From low to high and high to low
And always changing ground
Don't you ever get tired
Of sitting in that saddle
Staring at the western sky
Watching the sun go down?
