A Texas oilman
Out to make a living
Taken to a different town

Ever since they burned the Courthouse down
Gotta run title to get it done right
Before the news breaks out

About a wildcatter south
They just laugh and say? hey
It's our life and times? our life and times


She's working at the Diner
Throwing out those ole whiners

Keepin' with the other five and dimers
She hears the news
This here town is gonna boom

She hangs up her apron
Runs to the bank and gets a loan
Starts up her own place

And says Lord thank you? thank you
For our life and times
Our life and times? our life and times


Oh yeah, hey I tell ya
Well now this is where

They're all waiting for the outcome
Mostly taking odds against them
Oh yeah, that well came in late last night

Our life and times? our life and times
Oh yeah, and that new Diner is doing real fine
Our life and times? our life and times

You might as well enjoy it
Our life and times
Strength and wit

You have to bet your life on it
Here's to the WildCatter
Our life and times? our life and times

Our life and times? our life and times
