I Guess I, Am a Cowboy
I guess I’m cowboy with cowboying ways.
born a century too late so it seems.
This city style living is just killing me.
My soul wants to wander where souls
wander free.
Selling insurance over the phone
deadens my body and it’s killing my soul.
My soul wants to wander where souls wander free.
this city style living is just Killing me.
I remember the story’s my granddaddy told me
the day’s on the prairies the nights they were cold.
The hills and the valley’s the mountain’s and streams
the wild Mounting dear coming down from the hills
I know I’m a dreamer I guess I’m a schemer
get rich quick ideas and half thought about schemes.
My soul wants to wander where souls wander free
this city style living is just killing me.
I lookout my window at the concrete below
27 stories high got three hours to go.
Got a 40 year mortgage that I’ll never pay
so I’m packing my bags and I, am leaving today.
Back to the prairie where my soul wanders free
this city style living is just killing me.
