"Wild West Show" was the first single by country music duo Big & Rich. The song appeared on their 2004 debut album, Horse of a Different Color. It reached #21 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts.
The song talks of a love that has gone wrong, in the context of 1800s Western imagery, furthered by an opening piano/flute instrumental. The main character and his love interest have purportedly had a big argument ("It was a big showdown/Oh yeah, we stood our ground/Shot out the lights, it got a little crazy"), but he wishes that their love can survive and not end ("Don't want to see us go / The way of the buffalo / Don't wanna have another Wild West show").
According to the liner notes, the percussionist shakes a can of peanuts at the very end.
