Went all week working like a sod plow mule

'Bout half crazy but I ain't no fool

Gotta get outta here before I lose my cool

It's messing with my head

Some take a toke of doobie drink a coke and rum

Chug the hops and the barley from aluminum

Ain't pointing any fingers 'cause it works for some

To simply stay in bed

Rather saddle up instead and

Ride my pony up to whiskey basin give my attitude an alteration

Have a little campfire contemplation while the river there unwinds me

Don't need company or conversation psycho-spiritual evaluation

Don't come looking when I can't be found

I can find myself just fine up in whiskey basin

Heard a black and a cougar and a grizzly growl

Wolf pack holler back a full moon howl

Had a heavy conversation with a great horned owl

Heard a bull elk bugle ring

I can't see myself a city slickin' son of a son

I wanna wake up in wyoming till the day I'm done

When it's time to head to heaven know the way to run

You can let the angels sing

Just give my horse some wings and let me

Fly my pony up to whiskey basin

Give my attitude an alteration

Have a little campfire contemplation

While the river there unwinds me

I don't need company or conversation psycho-spiritual evaluation

Don't come looking when I can't be found

I can find myself just fine

Hike up and see my sweet Louise

Lie next to her underneath the trees

Listen to the wind and close my eyes

I know for now it's just a dream

But it can feel so real it seems

For a few breaths there time doesn't fly

By me like the shadow of a red-tailed hawk

Makes me want to literally punch the clock

Nothing ticks me any tighter than to take time off

When it isn't really true

I'm gonna learn to turn the burner off that's in the back

Hand a penny to the monkey so he'll trip the trap

Pull the pin on my adrenaline and let it blast

Monkey see monkey do

Hey but I don't need a monkey to

Ride my pony up to whiskey

Basin give my attitude an alteration

Have a little campfire contemplation

While the river there unwinds me

Don't need company or conversation psycho-spiritual evaluation

Don't come looking when I can't be found

I can find myself just fine up in whiskey basin

Out in whiskey basin

Hey get me high

Up in whiskey basin

Make my final destination

Whiskey basin
