lyrics

Cowboys in Dallas

Well I imagine somewhere in the still of the evenin’
Under skies twice as clear as the prairies are dry
He’s clothed in cracked leather and a ten gallon Stetson
And a pair of six-shooters strapped low on his side

His beard’s filled with dust from the miles that he’s travelled
And his hair smells like smoke from the fire at his feet
And his face is as parched as the leather he’s wearin’
And as tough as the jerky he eats

Chorus:
And I imagine that there are still cowboys in Dallas
Puffin hand-rolled cigarettes
Drinkin’ water from some rain-filled hoof print
I’ve been lookin’ but Lord I ain’t found one yet
And I can’t even watch them ride off in the sunset
Because of that hi-rise next-door
I imagine that there are still cowboys in dallas
But not here on the 21st floor.

I remember it well back in the badlands of my house
The summer of 60 in the heat of July
A five year-old sheriff with my tin badge and toy gun
And a white broomstick stallion with fire in his eyes

I vowed right then and thar that by God I’d grow up to be a cowboy
But manhood dissolves what you dream as a child
I know I can’t be one though I’d still like to see one
And maybe ride by his side for a while

Repeat Chorus:
