All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart
|
Every western hero on the screen's
|
Been with me from the start
|
Ridin' high and showin' me the way
|
And they've been there with me through my toughest times
|
We'd ride out to the boundries but we never crossed those lines
|
And that's a code that I'm still livin' by today
|
|
The code of the west was black and white
|
Good guys and the bad
|
You would always know who's wrong or right
|
By the color of their hat
|
|
Now there aren't so many happy trails
|
I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see
|
You don't go off into the sunset
|
And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea
|
|
And it's good to see the bad guys on the run
|
While our modern day heroes show 'em how the west was won
|
On their trail 'til they bring the last one down
|
We could use a few more cowboys here today
|
A few more days of reckoning and a lot more hell to pay
|
Where that debt is owed there ain't no middle ground
|
|
The code of the west was black and white
|
The good guys and the bad
|
You would always know who's wrong or right
|
By the color of their hat
|
|
Now there aren't so many happy trails
|
I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see
|
You don't go off into the sunset
|
And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea
|
|
The code of the west was black and white
|
The good guys and the bad
|
You would always know who's wrong and who was right
|
By the color of their hat
|
|
Now there aren't so many happy trails
|
I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see
|
You don't go off into the sunset
|
And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea
|
|
All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart
