Lyrics
(Chorus)
Everybody is a Cowboy, singing in the saddle
everybody is a cowboy, riding in the wind
we gotta get away boys, the posse follows
those big city lights got their sights on ropin? us in.
1. Come Monday morning, I?ve got my suit and tie on
gotta put the shine on, to keep the money comin? in
but to keep from going crazy, when my head?s getting? hazy
I ride off in the sunset with my pretty cowgirl friend.
2. I can feel the wind blow on the freeway going home
I can hear the birds sing, above the city roar
I close my eyes and see, prisoners running free
and a lone star serenading me on the radio.
