We Got Us a Trail Drive

(Chorus) Swing your leg up, up o'er the saddle
Take your seats boys, let's move'em on out
We got us a trail drive, and it's a hard life
Go easy on the reins boys, but hold the herd in tight.

The trail is long boys, the hills unending
We're headin' for water, and a good nights graze
It's five AM now, a cool breeze and coffee,
Just about perfect for another twenty mile day.

Chorus

Started out as drover, ate dust as a dragman
Rode flank chasin' quitters,
then took the point with the leading steers
Now I'm a Trail Boss, I buy and sell all the new stock
and hire all the crew who, can make a thousand mile trek.
