Now a fella asked me the other day What I liked about the West? So I got together my arguments just to prove it's the best I called the Mayor, the chief of police And even the Governors home To get the facts to back me up And here's what they said on the phone We got buffalo, deer, t-bone steaks, fruits, fish, and fowl Wine and grapes, figs and dates, a chamber of commerce smile Liquid sunshine, legal moonshine, Reno, Frisco, Tahoe Man you name it and if we ain't got it We'll get it (That's what I like about the West) (That's what I like about the West) You can prove that you're a man Drinkin' fruit juice from a can (Ride em cowboy ride that pony West) You can take a gal to the picture show But the place to build morale Is to take her for a moonlight stroll behind the old corral Things down there are rootin' and tootin' There's fightin', fuedin', and stuff A prowlin' stranger could cause a shootin' Cause enough of a thing's enough! I met a gal at a rodeo and we took a ride that night We saw a stack of new-mown hay Man you can see my plight She said let's sit We smurred and purred and finally to top it off I got myself a mate for life man I just couldn't help (That's what I like about the West) (That's what I like about the West) Steal a gal and they're on the loose Steal a horse you get the noose (Ride em cowboy ride that pony) Ride em cowboy ride that pony (Ride em cowboy ride that pony West) Ride em cowboy ride that pony West (West) West
