lyrics

Roustabouts, Roughnecks, and Dinosaur Bones - Feldman

Roustabouts, roughnecks, and dinosaur bones
Out to the rigs in the buffalo’s home
Two barrels a day keeps the banker away
Then it’s down to Juanita’s she got something to say

Look away look away to the prairie so green
Look away look away so serene
There’s an old mound of ground with bones made of stone
Roustabouts, roughnecks, and dinosaur bones

A horse and a gun and a one room school house
Out ‘neath the tree where the Wind River rounds
She still sits today the way she did then
If you’re lucky you’ll hear her voice over the wind

Look away look away to the prairie so green
Look away look away so serene
There’s an old mound of ground with bones made of stone
Roustabouts, roughnecks, and dinosaur bones

She speaks of the bison, of the oil, the Sioux
Of the cowboys and mammoths that wandered here too
Of the people who left their marks on the wall
She dreams that one day they’ll return from it all

Look away look away to the prairie so green
Look away look away so serene
There’s an old mound of ground with bones made of stone
Roustabouts, roughnecks, and dinosaur bones
