Lyrics

GET ALONG COWBOY

I got my cowboy boots underneath my bed
Got a Stetson hat baby, for my head
I got spurs that jingle and they jangle too
I?m a dirt kickin? cowboy through and through
Oh get along cowboy

We used to eat cold beans and we?d sleep on the ground
And we?d sing get around little doggies, get around
Sit around the campfire, swappin? stories and tellin? lies
And sleep at night under peaceful skies
Oh get along cowboy
Oh get along cowboy

Well I hung up my spurs and my red bandanna
Sold a good old horse down in Butte Montana
Caught myself a freight train, rode it all the way to New Orleans
Got a job selling magazines
Oh get along cowboy
Oh get along cowboy

I still dream of the days when a man was a man
These days he sells his soul for any little thing that he can
And he does it for life, there ain?t no way out
What happened to the cowboys we?ve heard about
Oh get along cowboy
Oh get along cowboy

Can you tell me what happened to the land of the free
And the home of the brave and the lone prairie
What happened to them good old songs about faith and American pride
Now it?s home on the range where the buffalo died
Oh get along cowboy
Oh get along cowboy

Got my cowboy boots underneath my bed
