Of man's progress I don't give a hoot
|
And man's estrangements Of nature's arrangements
|
Has given cause for my heartbreak To boot
|
|
The simple life though Filled with strife
|
And struggle with the land
|
Still remained its simple self
|
And that I understand
|
|
So city smog and dog eat dog
|
For some may hold sublime
|
Well as for me If I had my way
|
I'd had lived Some other time
|
|
Praise the prairie
|
And pass the cake
|
I'd like to eat it too
|
But being born now was my mistake
|
I've passed the buckaroo
|
|
I'd say
|
You're right
|
No chance Why fight?
|
Why be A cowboy star
|
|
(But) Hump back brahmas
|
Lovely cow mamas
|
Saw dust floor saloons
|
Dance hall queens Romanced in my dreams
|
So why pop my baloon?
|
|
No chance
|
Why fight?
|
Still in my own right
|
I'd be A cowboy star
|
|
Dreams of my life
|
Are so carried away
|
If just in my dreams
|
I could Be for one day
|
Just for one day
|
|
Lost in my dreams
|
I'll be riding away
|
like a cowboy star
|
|
Stage set: Sundown,
|
In my last Showdown I'll be....
|
