Cowboy Dreams
Slip on some cowboy boots.Coil up a lariat.
Put your head in a hat with a sky-wide brim and a feathered frill.
Then we'll be in cahoots.
We'll cut a double silhouette
as you trot right along beside me. Please say you will.
'Cause when I long to be riding on that trail to Drover City
under an open sky, living the cowboy dream,
I think how wrong I'd be feeling knowing you weren't riding with me,
partner, you and I'd make a mighty fine cowboy team.
Pick out a trusty horse.
We'll hit the dusty trail;
all the little calvies with their mommies and me with you.
And we will stay the course.
Good cowboys never fail
to bring the cattle in their care to their rendezvous.
Imagine you and I
with the sagebrush rolling by
each one of us grinning at a fellow buckaroo.
Together we'll uphold
Gene Autrie's sterling cowboy code
as we vanquish every ornery old bugaboo.
(Whistle verse)
So when I long to be riding on that trail to Drover City
under an open sky, living the cowboy dream,
I think how wrong I'd be feeling knowing you weren't riding with me,
partner, you and I'd make a mighty fine cowboy team.
Together you and I should be living that cowboy dream.
Dreaming cowboys
