about

We’ve been performing this song for years but never recorded it. Now that we’re all stuck inside due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems particularly relevant. Mark Smith and Dave share the lead vocals with lots of voices in the chorus. Picture yourself outside sitting around an evening campfire and you’ll get the idea.

lyrics

Never been in Oklahoma.
Don't have a home on the range.
But somehow it seems I know what it means
To ride on the wide open plain.

Living life like a cowboy.
Far from my city boy blues.
With Texas size schemes, cattle drive teams
There's nothing I couldn't do.

So round 'em up and move 'em out.
Rope 'em and brand 'em all day.
These INSIDE WALLS - they don't fool me at all.
I'm ridin' and ropin' today.

Of course there's the question of horses.
Do I like them? I can't really say.
In the saddle so tall it's a long way to fall.
Still I hear the West call.

I’d like to sit by the fire
When the work of my workday is through.
Sleep under the stars - shoot bad guys in bars.
Break a hard heart or two.

So round 'em up and move 'em out.
Rope 'em and brand 'em all day.
These INSIDE WALLS - they don't fool me at all.
I'm ridin' and ropin' today.

Inside Walls are solid it seems.
But only if you stop dreaming those daydreams.

Round ‘em up and move 'em out.
Dream those daydreams all day.
These INSIDE WALLS - they don’t fool me at all.
I'm livin' where the antelope play.
These inside walls - they don't fool me at all.
I'm dreamin' the daydreamer's way.
