Just like the spokes of a wheel  
you’ll spin 'round with the rest  
you’ll hear the drums and the brush of steel  
you’ll hear the call of the west  
call of the west.

From _[Waterhole #3](https://genius.com/Roger-miller-the-ballad-of-waterhole-3-code-of-the-west-lyrics)_

It’s the code of the west  
You must honor your neighbor  
The code of the west  
To your own self be true  
The code of the west  
You must do unto others  
Do unto others before they do it unto you

Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends,  
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends.  
One man likes to push a plow,  
The other likes to chase a cow,  
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends.

This is fine and all, but I’m wondering what common drink in the West was _stronger_ than whiskey. “Gimme a glass of your best lab-grade ethanol. And leave the flask.”
