The Lyrics
On this Conestoga, the reins are floppin' 'round;
Boundin' unbound horses cruisin' across the ground.
Bad men are chasin' us, firin' their six guns.
We have blundered, and I wonder: who'll grab the reins?
I bent down, searching fer leather straps that stop a horse
'cause we're now not able to keep the nags on course.
I fear that that loose wheel's just one of our banes.
We were dumber. . . got no guns, er, who'll grab the reins?
Herd cannot be reined in, and so we are sore.
A crowd, they rush together, like a lemming swarm.
Now it's rainin' horses, wagon wheels, and gear,
And we're grumblin' as we're tumblin' off crag terrain.
Boundin' unbound horses cruisin' across the ground.
Bad men are chasin' us, firin' their six guns.
We have blundered, and I wonder: who'll grab the reins?
I bent down, searching fer leather straps that stop a horse
'cause we're now not able to keep the nags on course.
I fear that that loose wheel's just one of our banes.
We were dumber. . . got no guns, er, who'll grab the reins?
Herd cannot be reined in, and so we are sore.
A crowd, they rush together, like a lemming swarm.
Now it's rainin' horses, wagon wheels, and gear,
And we're grumblin' as we're tumblin' off crag terrain.

funny concept...at first i thought it was gonna be a political parody
Good old western flavor..I thought like, alvin
I thought this was about the upcoming election. I see you remember westerns.
I also thought it would be about the 2008 election at first. Where's Santa Claus when you really need him?
Thanks, Alvin, AFW, 2Eagle, Michael. Seems there would be a good political take on this, what with reins, reign, Reag'n. . . .
