	Story Behind the Song After completing a graduate degree in Animal Nutrition, I spent time working in feedyards in the Midwest. I came to the conclusion that God made the Rockies to keep us "Westies" on our own side. Lyrics Pamela Van Schaack - GONNA LEAVE Cattle are hungry And I need a buck At four o'clock every morning I mount that old feed truck Steers are a bawling As we meet at the bunk Cowboys are shipping cattle In an early morning funk My Seat's in a pucker Through the muddy corner of dread If I slid in that lagoon I'd wish that I were dead But I met a great friend now A good old oakie boy He's riding pens here Oh howdy, such a western joy I'm gonna leave This one horse town Where there's not a trace Of a single man around The land is flat Corn is in style The only hill round here It's a manure pile The heroic town they call Ulysses In the county of Grant I live in good old Useless Is the younger people's chant Now you have to admit Old Useless smells pretty crass with all the Feedlot cattle and the natural If you lit a match The town would go up in flames And no one in the real world Would know their names But some people like This small town doe-se-doe I prefer the mountains Yah that's where I'm planning to go I'm gonna leave This one horse town Where there's not a trace Of a single man around Land is flat Corn is in style The only hill round here It's a manure pile I'm gonna leave This one horse town Where the guys cruise main street They're going nowhere, just up and down In their souped up pickups And old hot rod cars Cruising past thirteen churches And two members only bars I'm gonna leave
