COWBOYS and INDIANS
Words and music by Chase Simms ©2003

Cowboys and Indians?..I still remember when,
All you needed was a tree branch to pretend
Lincoln Logs, and baseball cards, pine wood derby racing cars, the man in the moon, was still a friend?..

Take me back home in time, to that place where peace of mind,
Was kneeling by your bedside at night to pray??
?Now I lay me down to sleep?, praying the Lord my soul to keep,
And drifting off, to dream the night away

Penny candy, and moon pies, Cracker-Jacks with that neat prize,
Pinball machines on which the wizards played??
Bazooka Joe, and Black Jack gum, Superheroes? guarding? everyone,
And Jesus was a SUPERSTAR on stage

Take me back home in time, to that place where peace of mind,
Was kneeling by your bedside at night to pray?..
?Now I lay me down to sleep?, praying the Lord my soul to keep,
And drifting off, to dream the night away

Slinky, yo-yo?s and a Twister game, ouigy boards, and HO trains
A little black ball, the answers to our questions found?
Eight track tapes, and vinyl played, defiant songs that defined our day
Speaking to us in that ?stereophonic? sound

Take me back home in time, to that place, where peace of mind,
Was kneeling by your bedside at night to pray?.
?Now I lay me down to sleep?, praying the Lord my soul to keep
And drifting off, to dream the night away?..

Taking trips in your first car?.a buck or two, could get you far
?Roadside Wonders? were never too hard to find
So cruise on back, to that place where, a smile will always find your face,
Along with the comfort of a world left far behind

Take me back home in time, to that place where peace of mind
Was kneeling by your bedside at night to pray?..
?Now I lay me down to sleep?, praying the Lord my soul to keep
And drifting off, to dream the night away?.

Take me back, in my mind, to that place, a peaceful time,
Where I can drift and dream my life away????.
Cowboys and Indians??.I still remember when??.
