I'm headed off to Ol' Shoshone
Where the birds and the bees won't know me
Men and war won't exist no more
And there ain't no gals to keep no score
I'm taking off for the woods
To a place where there ain't no shoulds
Don't need no books, I'll ponder the ponderosas
Don't need no lady, I'll marry the mariposas
Can't waste no time in gettin' there
I'll do eighty down eighty without a prayer
Don't need no gal, I'll spruce up for the spruces
Don't need no pal, I'll change my mood for the mooses
I'm headed off to Ol' Shoshone
Where the birds and the bees won't know me
Men and war won't exist no more
And there ain't no gals to keep no score
And if you're wandering where's my ass been
It's been cavorting amongst the aspens
Don't need no grass, I'll get altered among the alders
Don't need no mass, I'll grovel before the boulders
I'm headed off to Ol' Shoshone
Where the birds and the bees won't know me
Men and war won't exist no more
And there ain't no gals to keep no score
I'm headed off to Ol' Shoshone
Where the elk and the owls won't know me
Where there ain't no judges to whom I gotta plea
Because I can be me in Ol' Shoshone.
