We Were Cowboys

(альбом: We Were Cowboys - 2022)

Daddy watched John Wayne on a corduroy couch
I didn't know Texas from a hole in the ground
But it roped me in, that's where it all began
A stick was a rifle, a bullet was a rock
The good guys won and the bad guys lost
We climbed them trees, we were wild and free
Me and my buddies ran that town

We were cowboys
Running like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
We were cowboys
Didn't know nothing but we knew everything
We never made it eight, never won a buckle
But man, we were something

When I turned sixteen my saddle was the front seat of that 1993 Silverado
On a dirt road
I was Eastwood cool with a Marlboro Red
Aztec blanket in an eight foot bed
Earning bragging rights, every Saturday night
Them small town girls couldn't help but fall for us

We were cowboys
Running like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
We were cowboys
Didn't know nothing but we knew everything
We never made it eight, never won a buckle
But man, we were something, yeah

We were cowboys

We were cowboys
Jumping barbed wire fences and roping the wind
We were cowboys
No, ain't a thing changed since we were kids

We were cowboys
Running like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
We were cowboys
Didn't know nothing but we knew everything
We never made it eight, never won a buckle
But man, we were something
Wouldn't change nothing
Couldn't tell us nothing, 'cause man, we were something
Damn, we were something

Mmm, we were cowboys
We were cowboys
