Three Dollars

There's three dollars in my pocket Most I ever had was ten This cowboy's life don't make you rich The pay is pretty thin Sittin' here on this mountain top Watchin’ dust devils rise There ain't nowhere I'd rather be An' that seems pretty wise I cain't afford to go nowhere That don't seem to matter Some folks leave here an' don't come back An' get a whole lot fatter I look around and all I see Is home and that seems right Never had the need to wander Or see a different sight I'm sittin' on my three dollars An' that's the whole dang pot Might ride to town and have a beer Or maybe I might not Think I'll ride home and take a nap Monday's sure to foller Prob'ly spend it in the saddle Sittin' on three dollars
