Lyrics

On a snow covered night up in eastern Wyoming
Another lazy day looking for the sun.
In a drafty old cabin, outside of Whiskey Basin
Another shining light and a good man on the run.
There's a lady back in Laramie.
A reason no one else can see,
For him to spend the winter on his own.
Nothing much to do tomorrow, just a matter of survival.
Another friendly fight in a life chokeful of fun.

Yo-dle-oh-do-ooo-.....(etc.)

It's a special kind of medicine.
And all that you can do is win.
Though the taste is sweet, you can refuse.
Put your heart on the table.
Fill your cup with moonshine.
Another empty case of the Whiskey Basin Blues.

Yo-dle-oh-do-ooo-.....(etc.)
