Home on the Wastes

 is a song sung by The Lonesome Drifter after he is recruited for The Aces theater at The Tops casino during the quest Talent Pool. In the credits, it is listed as one of the songs on Radio New Vegas but in fact it is not played on any radio station.

The song is performed by J.E. Sawyer, the lead designer and project director of Fallout: New Vegas, and Nathaniel Chapman. It is one of the few songs that specifically mention elements of the Fallout world. It is based upon the song Home on the Range.

Lyrics
Oh, give me a home where the bighorners roam. Where the mole rat and the fire gecko play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And my skin is not glowing all day.

Home, home on the wastes, Where the mole rat and the fire gecko play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And my skin is not glowing all day.

Where the rads ain't too high, the waters not bad, The radscorps are playful and mild. Oh, I would not exchange this home on the wastes, For all the big cities so wild.

Home, home on the wastes. Where the Master's great armies once played. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And my rads are not rising all day.

Home, home on the wastes, Where the mole rat and the fire gecko play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And my skin is not glowing all day.
