Verse 1
We knew what living truly meant
Some days, it was hard to choose, heaven-sent
Between bike rides on dusty trails
Or running free through open dales
Swimming in the old swimming hole
Or finding peace beneath the Flamboyant's soul
Chorus
From there we ran, chasing a dream
New York, Chicago, Washington, it would seem
They called us with promises of success untold
Said we'd be better, brave and bold
Gain the power of knowledge, beauty, and gold
Said we'd conquer, stories to be told
Verse 2
But then we found, deep in our hearts
All we wanted was to play our cowboy parts
Just wanted to see ourselves again, you see
Wonder if Joe married Mary, wild and free
Meet up at the Old Black Bear Saloon
Have a couple beers, beneath the moon
Look up at the stars, a familiar sight
Come home to Mom and Dad, shining bright
Chorus
From there we ran, chasing a dream
New York, Chicago, Washington, it would seem
They called us with promises of success untold
Said we'd be better, brave and bold
Gain the power of knowledge, beauty, and gold
Said we'd conquer, stories to be told
Bridge
Watch the children grow, day by day
Kiss our partners, come what may
And dream that angels watch over us, it's true
From those who seek to conquer the world anew
Outro
Yeah, just wanted to be cowboys, plain and true
Back to the country roads, me and you.
