Intro Verse When I was young and just a boy I Had myself a dream I'd get a horse and ride the range With Roy and Gene We'd save the girl in the nick of time And have the fastest guns Sing a song while the credits rolled And disappear into the setting sun I didn't want to play football Or be a business man All I ever really wanted to do was play in a cowboy band So give me a guitar And some shined up boots And I'll show you where I stand Somewhere out on the Navajo trail Playin' in a cowboy band Verse When I was nine I stood in line To see Merle and The Strangers play But when the show was over and the lights went down I climbed up on that stage I looked at all those vacant seats and I just had to smile 'Cause I knew one day that I would play and they'd be dancin' in the aisles So give me a guitar And some shined up boots And I'll show you where I stand Somewhere out on the lone prarie Playin' in a cowboy band Bridge Listen to the rhythm of the bass and drums (Eh-EEH Eh-EEH) It sounds like cowboys on the run (Woo hoo-OOooh) So give me a guitar And some shined up boots And I'll show you where I stand Somewhere out on the stage tonight Playin' in a cowboy band And I just might be in your hometown tonight Playin' in a cowboy band Outro In a cowboy band Ye-heeeee In a cowboy band ye (Fade out)
