Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?

Oh, where have all the cowboys gone That weren’t afraid to speak their mind? Oh, where have all the cowboys gone— Have they rode off with us behind? We used to know the right from wrong And not all things were for a buck— Our boys once grew both tall and strong And all they needed was some luck. But things have changed in this dark land And correctness is now the word— We’re all afraid to take a stand And America’s now absurd! So now we take Christ from Christmas And are afraid to say His name— The ACLU now makes a fuss— And we all have to play the game! So now we all stick up our hands— Robbed of what all the brave have died— And let the bad guys make their plans As our leaders played tricks and lied. But our time will come once again And we’ll ride strong and still be free— If we call the Almighty, friend, And open hearts and eyes to see. Yes, where have all the cowboys gone That aren’t afraid to speak their mind? Yes, where have all the cowboys gone? They have not left us all behind.
