Bob Godwin's American Dream

Lyrics

I Want to be a Cowboy

I want to be a cowboy, I want to wear a six gun
Hang around in the saloons, drinking at shots of bourbon
I want to be a cowboy, wearing fancy cowboy boots
Riding on a horsy, getting into gun shoots

Do-Dahs

I want to be a cowboy, sleeping by the campfire
Rounding up them doggies, getting caught in barbed wire
I want to be a cowboy, with a ten gallon cowboy hat
Spurs on my heels, I really think that's where it's at

Do-Dahs

I want to be a cowboy, I really want to be one
I want to be a cowboy, I ain't never really seen one
Except on TV but I know what they look like, riding tall in the saddle on a Palomino Pony, pearl handled revolvers slug at my side singing cowboy songs by the campfire and riding off into the sun rise, or was the sun set
