Four Wheel Cowboy Lyrics

(c.w. mccall, bill fries, chip davis)

[chorus]
Four wheel cowboy
Four wheel cowboy
Four wheel cowboy
Jeepin' down to santa fe

Well, denver town an' I'm outta the chute
Foot in the gas an' a hole in my boot
And I'm outbound, yeah
Gonna see my momma in santa fe
I'm over the hump and I'm on my way
I'm southbound

[chorus]
Three hundred miles to santa fe
Got a momma to see or the devil to pay
Gonna be there by the break of day
And I'm southbound
Three hundred miles to santa fe
Got a momma to see or the devil to pay
Gonna be there by the break of day
And I'm southbound

Now this ol' jeep needs a coat a' paint
But she makes up for what I ain't
She got feelin'
I only know one thing fer sure
This pony a' mine don't need no spurs
She's squealin'

[chorus]
Four wheel cowboy
Four wheel cowboy
Four wheel cowboy
Jeepin' down to santa fe

Well, texaco's open in trindad
I didn't stop for gas but I wished I had
'cause I could use some
They's a bunch a' wild women in walsenburg
They all make love like a buffalo herd
I wish I knew one

[chorus]
Two hundred miles to santa fe
Gonna be there by the break of day
Got a momma to see or the devil to pay
And I'm southbound
Two hundred miles to santa fe
Gonna be there by the break of day
Got a momma to see or the devil to pay
And I'm southbound

Rattlin' down off a' raton pass
Glorieta hill like a sheet a' glass
And I'm slippin'
Pedalin' down past pecos town
My go foot up and my stop foot down
I'm slidin'

[chorus]
Four wheel cowboy
Four wheel cowboy
Four wheel cowboy
Jeepin' down to santa fe

Now momma's just like this here ol' jeep
She's tough and fast and she runs real cheap
And she's drivin'
Well, sun comin' up in new mexico sky
Got a burr in my saddle and a fire in my eye
An' I'm flyin'

[chorus]
Fifteen miles to santa fe
Gonna be there by the break of day
Got a momma to see or the devil to pay
And I'm southbound
Fifteen miles to santa fe
Gonna be there by the break of day
Got a momma to see or the devil to pay
And I'm southbound

C'mon now, paint
We almost there
Only one more mile, honey
We comin' momma
Here we come
Can'tcha see us comin' momma?
We comin'!
Only one more mile, momma!
We stuck into four wheel drive, baby!
Here we come!
Whoo!

C.W. McCall is the pseudonym of William Dale Fries (born November 15, 1928 in Audubon, Iowa, USA).

McCall is best known for the 1975 #1 hit song "Convoy", which came at the peak of the citizens band radio fad in the United States. Far from a one-hit wonder, McCall continued to chart with songs such as "Wolf Creek Pass", which hit #40 on the U.S. pop top 40 in 1975, and at least two other songs hit Billboard's pop Hot 100, including "Old Home Filler-Up an' Keep on a-Truckin' Cafe", as well as the environmentally-oriented "There Won't Be No Country Music (There Won't Be No Rock 'n' Roll)". A dozen McCall songs hit Billboard's country singles chart, including the sentimental "Roses For Mama" (1977).

In 1978, the movie Convoy was released, based on the C.W. McCall song and starring Kris Kristofferson.

In addition to the "original six" McCall albums released between 1975 and 1979, two rare singles exist. "Kidnap America" was a politically/socially-conscious track, while "Pine Tar Wars" referred to an event that actually happened in a New York Yankees-Kansas City Royals baseball game in 1983.

In 1982, McCall was elected mayor of the town of Ouray, Colorado, ultimately serving three terms.

In 1990, American Gramaphone Records issued a CD containing a number of old McCall tracks re-recorded for the digital CD age, plus a new song, "Comin' Back For More", which was inspired by Alferd Packer, an alleged cannibal from the 19th century.
