Like a Good Cowboy Lyrics


Walking down the street in L.A.
Caught in the middle of a heat wave
Pass by the star of John Wayne
And I think to myself how times changeNow, where the cattle once roamed
There's a Burger King and a peep show
We do everything from our cell phones
Ridin' in, out steel broncosOoh, it's Dow Jones
Hi-low price of corn in Tokyo
Wild west neighborhoodIt's quick draw credit cards
The world turns but in my heart
I'm ridin' down the range like a
Good, good, good, good(Cowboy)
I do what I say, say what I mean
Try to get a grip on the American dream
(Like a good cowboy)
From Sunrise to Sunset Strip I'll be
Workin' to the bone just to try to have a voiceWhen Friday night comes
I'm gonna turn up the noise

Like a good, good, good cowboy
Oh, yeah, alrightDollar don't go far these days
The new frontier is a freeway
5 PM is a rat race
Even Eastwood moved to MontereyYeah, it's Lean Cuisines, microwaves
Silicone and cellophane, 'Aliens' in Hollywood
Bright lights, big city, concrete nitty gritty
Ridin' down the range like a good, good, good, good(Cowboy)
I do what I say, say what I mean
Try to get a grip on the American dream
(Like a good cowboy)
From sunrise to sunset, strip I'll be
Workin' to the bone just to try to have a voiceWhen Friday night comes
I'm gonna turn up the noise
Like a good, good, good, good
Good, good, good, good cowboyOh, it's Dow Jones
Hi, low, price of corn in Tokyo
Wild west neighborhoodYeah, it's quick draw credit cards
The world turns but in my heart
I'm ridin' down the range like a
Good, good, good, goodI do what I say, say what I mean
Try to grab a piece of that American dream
(Like a good cowboy)
From sunrise to sunset, strip I'll be
Workin' to the bone just to try to have a voiceWhen Friday night comes
I'm gonna turn up the noise
Like a good, good, good, good
Good, good, good, good, good cowboy

There are at least 3 artists called Lonestar:

1) Lonestar is an American country music group consisting of Richie McDonald (lead vocals), Michael Britt (lead guitar, background vocals), Keech Rainwater (drums), Dean Sams (keyboards, melodica, background vocals), and Michael Hill (Bass Guitar). McDonald left the band in November 2007 for a solo career before returning in 2011. During that time, Cody Collins, who had formerly been in another country group called McAlyster, replaced McDonald as the band's lead vocalist. John Rich was also the group's bass guitarist and second lead vocalist until 1998, when he was fired from the group. He left for a solo career, before joining Big Kenny in the duo Big & Rich in 2003. Since Rich's departure, Lonestar has not had an official bass guitarist.

The group began having major country hits in 1995, with the top 10 hit "Tequilla Talking." Their first No. 1 hit was "No News," which spent three weeks at the top of Billboard magazine's Hot Country Singles chart in 1996.

Lonestar's signature song is "Amazed," a ballad which spent nine weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's country chart during the summer of 1999. The song subsequently climbed to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 chart, the first country act to accomplish the feat since 1983's "Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.

Another popular Lonestar song was "Mr. Mom". This song is on of the most played songs on radio stations to date.

Other No. 1 hits include "Come Cryin' to Me" (summer 1997); "Smile" and "What About Now" (both 2000); "Tell Her" and "I'm Already There" (2001); "My Front Porch Lookin' In" (2003). Other important hits in Lonestar's discography include "Running Away With My Heart" and "When Cowboys Didn't Dance" (1996); "Heartbroke Every Day" and "You Walked In" (1997); "Say When" and "Everything's Changed" (1998); "With Me" (2001); "Not a Day Goes By" and "Unusually Unusual" (2002); "Walking in Memphis" (2003); "Let's Be Us Again" (2004); "Class Reunion (That Used to Be Us)" (2005) and "You're Like Coming Home" (2005). Their current single is "I'll Die Tryin'", which is a cover of another Emerson Drive song released three years earlier.

During Lonestar's early years, songwriter John Rich was also a member as the band's bassist. He left the group in 1998 and is now part of the country duo Big & Rich.

On May 1st, 2006 Lonestar sang the National Anthem at Fenway Park in Boston with the return of Johnny Damon.
