about

written in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the Fall of 2005 about the town of Silverton, Colorado

lyrics

Got out of work,
a quarter past five,
head into town just a little too high.

Don't care where we go,
as long as we ride,
ridin' with the boys from the Silverton mines.

She was horse drawn,
over stoney pass,
runs a little funny but don't you laugh.

She's a little too slow,
and a little too fast,
crankin' up the engine and puttin' in the gas.

(chorus)
Fill 'er up,
we're heading on out,
going down to Durango town.
And if we make it over the pass,
the snowfall's coming and we might not,
might not look back.

I'll tell you straight up,
ain't gonna lie,
been drinkin' some whiskey and I'm itchin' to drive,

the sooner we crash, then the sooner we die,
and we won't have to work in those Silverton mines.

(chorus)
