The Cowboy Lives Forever

(album: Thank Heavens For Dale Evans - 1990)

The cowboy lives forever
As long as there's a faded pair of blue jeans
Wide brimmed hats and leather
And dreams

There's a little bit of Roy and Dale in all of us
Though all of us don't wear the cowboy boots and spurs
A man will dream of rescuing a damsel in distress
And the girl likes to dream that it's her

The cowboy lives forever
As long as there's a faded pair of blue jeans
Wide brimmed hats and leather
And dreams

He was born from the dust of the western plain
Raised up tall and straight like a cactus tree
His home range stretches from Hawaii to Maine
He's John Wayne, he's Gene Autry, he's me

The cowboy lives forever
As long as there's a faded pair of blue jeans
Wide brimmed hats and leather
And dreams

You can find a cowgirl at the rodeo
She'll shuffle to the two-step like the cowboys do
She might be wearing petticoats or maybe boots and chaps
She's Patsy Cline, Loretta, Kitty Wells or Emmylou or maybe you

The cowboy lives forever
As long as there's a faded pair of blue jeans
Wide brimmed hats and leather
And dreams
