[Verse 1]
Colorado soldier, put down your dukes
There's nothing 'round here but deer and the breeze to shoot
You took down your daddy's lasso to hang the moon
Now you're skipping on rent 'cause you can't afford the room

[Chorus]
Polish your boots, boy, step in time
We're heading out west toward the county line
Gonna bury that box of ashes in the ground
I feel a sudden change coming around

[Verse 2]
You should call your mama up sometime
Excuses running thin as turpentine
Maybe today it's better just to roam
Cheap sunglasses, Sunday morning stoned

[Chorus]
Polish your boots, boy, step in time
We're heading out west toward the county line
Gonna bury that box of ashes in the ground

Snakes on the roadside, vultures in the sky
They lay in wait for a man to die
But it ain't too late to leave this highway town
I feel a sudden change coming around
