WHEN I WAS YOUNG
AND JUST A BOY
HAD MYSELF A DREAM
I'D GET A HORSE
AND RIDE THE RANGE
WITH ROY AND GENE
WE'D SAVE THE GIRL
IN THE KNICK OF TIME
AND HAVE
THE FASTEST GUNS
AND SING A SONG
WHILE THE CREDITS
ROLLED
AND DISAPPEAR INTO
THE SETTING SUN
DIDN'T WANNA
PLAY FOOTBALL
OR BE A BUSINESS MAN
ALL I EVER REALLY
WANTED TO DO
IS PLAY IN A
COWBOY BAND
GIVE ME A GUITAR
AND SOME
SHINED UP BOOTS
AND I'LL SHOW YOU
WHERE I STAND
SOMEWHERE OUT ON
THE NAVAJO TRAIL
PLAYING IN A
COWBOY BAND
WHEN I WAS NINE
I STOOD IN LINE
TO SEE MERLE AND
THE STRANGERS PLAY
WHEN THE SHOW
WAS OVER AND THE
LIGHTS WENT DOWN
I CLIMBED UP
ON THAT STAGE
I LOOKED AT ALL THOSE
VACANT SEATS
AND I JUST HAD
TO SMILE
'CAUSE I KNEW ONE DAY
THAT I WOULD PLAY
AND THEY'D BE DANCIN'
IN THE AISLE
SO GIVE ME A GUITAR
AND SOME
SHINED UP BOOTS
AND I'LL SHOW YOU
WHERE I STAND
SOMEWHERE OUT ON
THE LONE PRAIRIE
PLAYING IN A
COWBOY BAND
4 BAR
BREAK
LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM
OF THE BASS
AND DRUMS
IT SOUNDS LIKE
COWBOYS ON THE RUN
OOH HOO OOH OOH
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
SO GIVE ME A GUITAR
AND SOME
SHINED UP BOOTS
AND I'LL SHOW YOU
WHERE I STAND
SOMEWHERE ON
A STAGE TONIGHT
PLAYING IN A
COWBOY BAND
AND I JUST MIGHT BE IN
YOUR HOMETOWN
TONIGHT
PLAYING IN A
COWBOY BAND
IN A COWBOY BAND
AYEEEEEE
