out west

yes, you drive a pick-up
wear your boots and hat
your body's in the city
but not where your mind's at

you dream of open fences
a meadow for your horse
a stream behind a cabin
stone hearth to keep you warm

the day is getting nearer
when you toss your tie and run
you hear the mountains calling
out west where you belong

Go on! Do it! Ditch the tie, don the boots, saddle up and sing a wild yippey aye ay! Am sensing an office bound cowboy bored of city eejuts! Thanks for this.
