Wild West Show
Big $ Rich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ridin' a Pinto,
Tryin' to chase the Lone Ranger down.
I'm a little unravelled,
But I'm still in the saddle,
Cryin' your name out to the clouds,
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!
Back at the tepee?
We'll lay down by the camp fire.
There, in the dark night,
We'll smoke the peace pipe,
Forget about who's wrong or right.
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!
Yeah, it was a big showdown,
Oh yeah, we stood our ground.
Shot out the lights:
It got a little crazy.
I don't want to see us go,
The way of the buffalo:
Don't want to have another wild west show.
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!
Only forgiveness,
Will finally end this.
There won't be a witness if we both fall.
There's never a hero,
In a battle of egos.
There's never a winner of the quick draw.
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!
Yeah, it was a big showdown,
Oh yeah, we stood our ground.
Shot out the lights:
It got a little crazy.
Don't want to see us go,
The way of the buffalo:
Don't want to have another wild west show.
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!
It's like a ghost town,
Without you around.
Why can't we just forget it,
Ride off in the sunset?
It was a big showdown,
Oh yeah, we stood our ground.
Shot out the lights:
It got a little crazy.
I don't want to see us go,
The way of the buffalo:
Don't want to have another wild west show.
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!
I'm feelin' like Tonto,
Ridin' a Pinto,
Tryin' to chase the Lone Ranger down.
The song "Wild West Show" by Big $ Rich is a country song that delves into the complexities of a relationship between two people who are constantly clashing with each other. The lyrics follow a storyline in which one person feels like they are trying to chase the other down and is unravelled from the constant chasing. The singer is likened to Tonto, riding a Pinto, trying to catch the Lone Ranger. The relationship is at a point where the two people need to put their differences aside and meet back at the tepee to smoke the peace pipe and forget about who was right or wrong.
As the song progresses, there is a realization that forgiveness is the only way to end this argument. The two people are at a standoff, and there is never a winner in this type of conflict. The singer doesn't want to see the relationship fall apart like the buffalo, and they don't want to have another wild west show. The song ends with the singer feeling like they are in a ghost town without the other person around, and they wish they could just forget about it and ride off into the sunset.

I'm feelin' like Tonto, Ridin' a Pinto,Tryin' to chase the Lone Ranger down.
I feel lost and overwhelmed, like I'm chasing something that I'll never catch. My path is unpredictable and chaotic, and I'm struggling to keep up.
Why don't you meet me, Back at the tepee?We'll lay down by the camp fire.There, in the dark night,We'll smoke the peace pipe,Forget about who's wrong or right. Hey yaw, Hey yaw!
Let's reconcile and come together in a peaceful way. We'll put our differences aside and focus on finding common ground while enjoying the beauty around us.
Yeah, it was a big showdown,Oh yeah, we stood our ground.Shot out the lights:It got a little crazy.I don't want to see us go,The way of the buffalo:Don't want to have another wild west show. Hey yaw, Hey yaw!
We had a heated confrontation, but we both held our own. Things got out of hand and we risked causing serious harm. I don't want us to follow a destructive path and end up with more conflict.
Only forgiveness,Will finally end this.There won't be a witness if we both fall.There's never a hero,In a battle of egos.There's never a winner of the quick draw. Hey yaw, Hey yaw!
We need to forgive each other to move on and end this situation. Even if nobody sees or acknowledges it, we can both benefit from seeking peace. In a conflict fueled by pride, nobody truly wins.
It's like a ghost town,Without you around.Why can't we just forget it,Ride off in the sunset?
Without a resolution, the world feels empty and inhospitable. Why can't we just let go of our pride and end things peacefully? It would be like a classic Western film, where the hero rides off into the sunset after triumphing over danger and conflict.
