Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Bad oats in town, the word went out
So, my horse and me, we left town
Rode my palomino down
To Gil Blanco County
It's not far, you know
Ever seen the sunrise in Gil Blanco County?
Ever see the pools they got there?
It's where the birds go on the fourth
Just a bird's way
To celebrate
Got caught in a storm in Gil Blanco County
"It rained so hard," said Indian Joe
He knows all there is to know
It should wash the face of the earth
And make us clean again
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Gil Blanco County is an entirely fictional location, seemingly named after Major League Baseball pitcher Gil Blanco, formerly of the New York Yankees.
