Clayton...


Where dinosaurs once roamed, cattle drive cowboy dances,
this was a shipping point for Pecos River ranches;
located on the Santa Fe trail cutoff of the Cimarron trail,
the town is friendly and the folks here have never gotten frail.

There are still ranchers and cowboys out here,
but you can come and visit there is nothing to fear;
we're very close to Oklahoma, the pan-handle anyway,
we'll be in with the Okies, in just another day.
