Lyrics

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
