Fourteen rivers, fourteen floods 
Bend your body to the heavens above 
Don't get drunk, don't get dry 
Just bring your money next Saturday night 

Forty miles on a cattle trail 
With a half-dead mule and nothing on my mind 
All my life I've been talking fast 
Taking all the things that I should have let pass 

Throw my hat on a coffin nail 
Put another brick in the fire place 
Well I don't know about you or me 
But someone got loose back in town
