I met a guy the other day, he's just like all the rest 

He asks about this cruise we take, The Spirit Of The West 

I said, well yes I'll tell you, and it's just my point of view 

But if you check with others, you will likely find it's true 

A certain kind of people, and it's mostly farmers wives

Been waiting for the chance to go, for more than half their lives

The place was paid for long ago, it wouldn't do no harm

But dammit, that old cowboy is afraid to leave the farm

She says "there's others going, you won't be the only one"

And surely after all these years, we've earned a little fun

I think it's time that we began to learn how to relax

And did you know that some of this you write off- on your tax

What's that you say? I can't believe that what I heard is true

But if it is, then I suppose that's what we ought to do

They make the trip and have some fun, by now he's lost his fear

When they get home he says "by God lets go again next year!"
