Sandy (Wrangler in the Badlands) Video (MV)

You were still a kid when your mama got ill
The times were rough had to play it tough
Couldn't live off goodwill
You left home at the age of fifteen
Nothing to your name but an old pair of jeans
The year was nineteen nineteen

No education, just a hardworking youth
Sandy, I guess you were wild inside
A wrangler in the badlands
With freedom at hand
Willing to take a ride
On the other side

You walked fifty miles to reach another town
Looking for some work you've been all around
Never let yourself down
You hid under the bridge where the freight trains passed
When they slowed them down you ran real fast
And your feet went off the grass

Kept on moving, and lived from day-to-day
Sandy, I guess you were wild inside
A wrangler in the badlands
With freedom at hand
Willing to take a ride
On the other side

Like a drifting raft in the heart of a river
You made it out west and were hired as a miner
In the coal mine of drumheller
With your mauser 43 and your cowboy hat
Grew tired of the dark, said: you gotta get out
Were put in charge of a remuda

This was hard work
But not too hard for you
Sandy, I guess you were wild inside
A wrangler in the badlands
With freedom at hand
Willing to take a ride
On the other side

You loved those mountains where the cold wind blows
Sandy, I guess you were wild inside
A wrangler in the badlands
With freedom at hand
Willing to take a ride
On the other side
Willing to take a ride
On the other side
Willing to take a ride
On the other side
