Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
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 GeneWe'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 sunI didn't want to play football
Or be a business man
All I ever really wanted to do
Was play in a cowboy bandGive 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 bandWhen I was nine I stood in line
To see Merle and the strangers play
But when the show was over and the lights went down
I climbed upon that stageI 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 aislesSo, 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 bandListen to the rhythm of the bass and drums
It sounds like cowboy's on the run, ooh, oohSo, give me a guitar and some shined up boots
And I'll show you where I stand
Somewhere on the stage tonight
Playin' in a cowboy bandAnd I just might be in your hometown tonight
Playin' in a cowboy band
In a cowboy bandYeah, in a cowboy band, yeah
In a cowboy band
