Cowboy Band

Cowboy Band - Billy Dean

When I was young and just a boy

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

Didn't want to play football

Or be a business man

All I ever really wanted to do was

Play in a cowboy band

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

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 prairie

Playin' in a cowboy band

Listen to the rhythm of the bass and drums

It sounds like cowboy's on the run

So give me a guitar and some shined up boots

And I'll show you where I stand

Somewhere on the stage tonight

Playin' in a cowboy band

And I just might be in your hometown tonight

Playin' in a cowboy band

In a cowboy band

In a cowboy band

In a cowboy band
