Текст песни: Bowlegs + перевод

Well, there used to be this ol' guy named Woody, and Woody was an Indian

Came from a town in Oklahoma called… Bowlegs. (Yeah, buddy.)

And he used to have this saying, he used to say when things got real lousy

I mean real lousy

All you had to do was just put out the fire, call in the dogs, an' head it on

Back to Bowlegs

And that’s what this tune’s about. Heading on back

Sometimes things don’t work out, but that’s how life is, son;

All them little miseries can keep you on the run

One mornin' you may wake up with your face down in the eggs

So just put out the fire, call in the dogs, an' head it on back to Bowlegs

Y’all just put out the fire, call in the dogs, an' head it on back to Bowlegs

Well, lots o' people in this world are tryin' to make a buck

Some folks ride in a limousine while others drive them big ol' Peterbilt trucks

Just remember that ol' saying 'bout the round holes and square pegs

An' just put out the fire, call in the dogs, an' head it on back to Bowlegs

Well, just put out the fire, call in the dogs, an' head it on back to Bowlegs

There’s no use tryin' to be what you’re not

You run on a treadmill and you’ll get tired a lot. (Rhythmic breathing)

So why not take some advice from me?; (Ooh)

Even though I ain’t no McCartney

Well, the moral of this story escapes me at this time

I’ve been too busy sitting here, just tryin' to make it rhyme

I’m a crazy drunken fool, and when I finish off this keg

I’m gonna piss on the fire, call in the dogs, an' head it on back to Bowlegs

Piss on the fire, call in the dogs, an' head it on back to Bowlegs

I’ll just piss on the fire, call in the dogs, an' head it on back to Bowlegs

(Epilogue)

Well, right now, we’re gonna do a little headin' on back ourselves

Head on down to Bowlegs, water hole; take advantage of that at Happy Hour

Yeah, well, we’re gonna go to the Jerome’s, go to the Jerome’s, man

All right

They got a beer down there with my name on it

They got a beer called Jeff?

(Laughing)

I’d like a beer

You’d like a beer?

Yeah, let’s-let's go get one

I-I could- I’m awful dry. (Opens beer can)

All right. Yeah

Where is my… (fades to unintelligible)

(Laughing)

(Dogs barking)
