\nI want to tour the US where the World once ran away
\nAnd carved a home from other people’s lands.
\nA state where greed grows rampant and yet nature still holds sway,
\nA place no other nation understands.
\nThere are prairies like an ocean and a desert like the moon,
\nI shall see them all then finish in a Wild West Saloon.<\/p>\n
In Washington the White House (which we British set alight)
\nAnd New Orleans where Basin Street is blue.
\nI’d see Alaskan winters where at midday it’s still night,
\nMontgomery where little Topsy grew.
\nThere are prairies like an ocean and a desert like the moon,
\nI shall see them all then finish in a Wild West Saloon.<\/p>\n
I want to see Savannah when the sun has turned it gold
\nAnd San Francisco’s lights across the bay.
\nThe wilds of Arizona where the Cavalry patrolled,
\nManhattan where the world’s sold every day.
\nThere are prairies like an ocean and a desert like the moon,
\nI shall see them all then finish in a Wild West Saloon.<\/p>\n
The alligatored Everglades, by airboat if I can,
\nMuch farther south the beaches on the Keys.
\nThen Texas and the Alamo that once was Mexican
\nChicago, that’s the city with a breeze.
\nThere are prairies like an ocean and a desert like the moon,
\nI shall see them all then finish in a Wild West Saloon.<\/p>\n
The Rocky Mountains in the West, New England in the fall.
\nDeath Valley where it’s hot as any Hell.
\nThe Colorado River with a canyon that’s not small
\nAnd maybe I’ll do Canada as well.
\nThere are prairies like an ocean and a desert like the moon,
\nI shall see them all then finish in a Wild West Saloon.<\/p>\n
I cannot list the half of it, there’s Denver in the clouds
\nThat’s fairly near to Aspen where I’ll ski.
\nThere’s wilderness and loneliness and cities full of crowds
\nAnd all of them are sights I want to see.
\nThere are prairies like an ocean and a desert like the moon,
\nI shall see them all then finish in a Wild West Saloon.<\/p>\n
So will you take me with you round the nation of your birth
\nAnd show me what it did to make you you?
\nThen come with me to England, that’s the Jewel of the Earth
\nTo show you round will make it seem brand new.
\nWhere the Downs roll like an ocean and the mountains touch the Moon,
\nThen we’ll settle to a pie and pint, the pub has a saloon!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
