Homegrown Western Saturday Night (Powder River Version) - Chris Ledoux[00:00:00]
There's a place out west[00:00:10]
Where the Powder River[00:00:11]
Rolls off the Big Horn Mountains[00:00:12]
And winds it's way across the plains [00:00:14]
It's a land of red walls blue sky [00:00:18]
And clean air where the eagle[00:00:21]
Glides high above the canyons and[00:00:23]
Makes his nest in the rocks[00:00:25]
That overlook the valleys[00:00:27]
Where the sagebrush[00:00:27]
And cottonwoods grow[00:00:28]
This is ranch country [00:00:31]
Has been for more than a hundred years [00:00:34]
Well things have changed some[00:00:38]
Since the early days [00:00:39]
But there's still a thread of character[00:00:41]
And tradition that runs true[00:00:42]
From one generation to the next [00:00:44]
You can see it in the way[00:00:47]
Folks out here sit a horse [00:00:48]
You can hear it in the way they talk [00:00:50]
And when the work's all done [00:00:53]
There's nothing they like better than[00:00:54]
To get together at the one-room schoolhouse[00:00:56]
Under the red wall from another home[00:00:59]
Homegrown western saturday night [00:01:01]
Well the calving's all done[00:01:11]
And the brandins' through[00:01:13]
Hayin' don't start for a week or two[00:01:15]
There ain't but one thing left to do[00:01:18]
It's time to celebrate[00:01:20]
Headin' west out of town[00:01:34]
Down a blacktop road[00:01:36]
Folks are comin' by the pickup load[00:01:38]
For a western good time alamode[00:01:40]
Better bring along your appetite[00:01:41]
Take a right hand turn[00:01:44]
Through the cattle guard[00:01:46]
Park it down in the old school yard[00:01:47]
Gonna kick up my heels[00:01:49]
With my cowboy pards[00:01:51]
And hold my woman tight[00:01:52]
Yippee yi-ay and a hey diddle diddle[00:01:55]
Ord's on the guitar Ross on the fiddle[00:01:57]
Pull down your hat [00:01:59]
Keep your mind in the middle[00:02:00]
Raise a ruckus tonight[00:02:02]
From the butterfly to the jitterbug[00:02:05]
Me my lady's gonna cut a rug[00:02:08]
Wild Bill's crackin' out that old square jug[00:02:11]
On another down home good time[00:02:15]
Homegrown western saturday nigh[00:02:17]
Well the little kids are[00:02:30]
Playin' tag out back[00:02:31]
Someone's peekin' through[00:02:33]
The outhouse crack[00:02:34]
And if his mom could see him[00:02:35]
She'd have a heart attack[00:02:36]
And he'd have a hard time sitting down[00:02:37]
Now the young cowboys are[00:02:40]
Starting to sweat[00:02:41]
The teenage girls are playin' hard to get[00:02:43]
And it's driving them crazy[00:02:45]
But the night's young yet[00:02:46]
Give em' time They'll come around[00:02:47]
Yippee yi-ay and a hey diddle diddle[00:02:50]
Ord's on the guitar Ross on the fiddle[00:02:52]
We come here to party and not spit and whittle[00:02:55]
While the moon is shining bright[00:02:57]
There's a coyote howlin' from the hills above[00:03:01]
To the harmony of a morning dove[00:03:03]
For the couple in the moonlight fallin' in love[00:03:06]
On another down home good time[00:03:10]
Homegrown western saturday night[00:03:13]
Now the midnight supper really hit the spot[00:03:25]
There's beef and pie and coffee in a pot[00:03:28]
And if you drank too much I'll tell you what[00:03:30]
It'll sure get you back on your feet[00:03:32]
Well The old couple sitting[00:03:35]
By the schoolhouse door[00:03:36]
Grinnin' at the kids dancin' around the floor[00:03:37]
And they remember the way it was years before[00:03:40]
Ah the memories taste so sweet[00:03:42]
Yippee yi-ay and a hey diddle diddle[00:03:45]
Ord's on the guitar turn it up a little[00:03:47]
We come here to party[00:03:50]
And spit and whittle[00:03:51]
While the moon is shinin' bright[00:03:52]
From "Faded Love" to the "Cattle Call"[00:03:56]
The music flows out to the old red wall[00:03:58]
It'll echo around 'til clear next fall[00:04:01]
We'll have another down home good time[00:04:05]
Homegrown western saturday night[00:04:07]
