Turn Me Loose!




I'm tired of this dirty old city.
Entirely too much work and never enough play.
And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks.
Think I'll walk off my steady job today.

Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montana.
And gimme all I got comin' to me,
And keep your retirement and your so called social security.
Big City turn me loose and set me free.

Been working everyday since I was twenty.
Haven't got a thing to show for anything I've done.
There's folks who never work and they've got plenty.
Think it's time some guys like me had some fun.


Well I am not ready to march into the Man's office and demand "all that's comin' to me", but we have laid the groundwork. We bought into a piece of Montana last night. Pretty much smack dab in the middle. Pretty soon we will be able to say "turn me loose Big City and set us free".

THE place to be this summer is just southwest of Billings, just out of Red Lodge, below Laurel, which is a whole 'nother song, but a good one just the same.

Well, well I'm goin' down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinkin' town, yeah
But me I know exactly
What I'm going to find

Little girl I'm goin' to see
She is a fool for lovin' me
But she's in love
And love's a funny state of mind
