WHEN I WAS YOUNG
AND JUST A BOY
I HAD MYSELF
A DREAM
I'D GET A HORSE AND
RIDE THE RANGE
WITH ROY AND
GENE
WE'D SAVE THE GIRL
IN THE NICK OF TIME
AND HAVE THE
FASTEST GUNS
SING A SONG WHILE THE
CREDITS ROLLED
AND DISAPPEAR INTO
THE SETTING SUN
I DIDN'T WANNA
PLAY FOOTBALL
OR BE A BUSINESS
MAN
ALL I EVER REALLY
WANTED TO DO
WAS 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
PLAYIN' IN A COWBOY
BAND
NOW THIS NIGHT
I STOOD IN LINE
TO SEE MERLE AND
THE STRANGERS PLAY
AND WHEN THE
SHOW WAS OVER
AND THE LIGHTS
WENT DOWN
I CLIMBED UPON
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
AISLES
SO GIVE ME A GUITAR AND
SOME SHINED UP BOOTS
AND I'LL SHOW YOU
WHERE I STAND
SOMEWHERE OUT ON
THE LONE PRAIRIE
PLAYIN' IN
A COWBOY BAND
LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM
OF THE BASS AND DRUMS
IT SOUNDS LIKE
COWBOYS ON THE RUN
WHOO HOO OOH OOH
SO GIVE ME A GUITAR AND
SOME SHINED UP BOOTS
AND I'LL SHOW YOU
WHERE I STAND
SOMEWHERE ON
A STAGE TONIGHT
PLAYIN' IN A
COWBOY BAND
AND I JUST MIGHT
BE IN
YOUR HOMETOWN
TONIGHT
PLAYIN' IN A
COWBOY BAND
I'M IN A COWBOY
BAND
YEAH EEE
IN A COWBOY
BAND YEAH
IN A COWBOY BAND
