Full lyrics:


bad luck

broke down in Ten Sleep

at a three stool bar

on the main street

nursing pride with beer

beside a girl with auburn hair


she asked where breeze had me blowin'

I told her I was rollin' West

she asked "Nah, right now, where ya goin'?"

I asked what she thought

would be best

she revealed that I'd stumbled on

bit of a rodeo town

she had a pick up with some get up

said she'd show me around


Ten Sleep

under a Big Horn sky

with a full Wyomin' moon

Ten Sleep

I'd be gone at dawn

but that sun won't rise too soon

and it's not that they got all that much

original to do

but you find yourself the right stool

the fun'll find you

you find yourself the right stool

the fun'll find you


my steed rested on its stand

by a stable outside

it was a 1978 Electra Glide

we'd been on a tear

from High Plains thru Sturgis Hills

I asked my green-eyed guide

if she knew how a thrill like that feels


as free

as Madame intended

when she first made man

as free

as before the laws of lunacy began

when wild in virgin woods

the heathen ran

when wild in virgin woods

the heathen ran


she said "I've never been in a saddle

this style per se

but I've busted my share of broncos

in my day

and I can't rightly relate

to feelin' broken down

'cause I can always find somethin' to ride

if I look aroun'"


Ten Sleep

they got their own kinda twang

when they play that cowboy tune

Ten Sleep

I was gone at dawn

and prolly forgot by noon

and it's not that they got

all that much original to do

but breeze thru without breakin' down

the bad luck's on you

breeze thru without breakin' down

the bad luck's on you


as free

as Madame intended

when she first made man

as free

as before the laws of lunacy began

when wild in virgin woods

the heathen ran

when wild in virgin woods

the heathen ran
