When I was just a young guy,
I wanted to grow up and punch cows in the mountains up high.
Well I did pretty good, \u2018cause I am sitting here tonight,
Just me, the horses and cattle.
I am watching the fire, and listening for trouble;
Hopefully it\u2019s a peaceful night.
The winds a blowing, it\u2019s getting chilly,
So, I pull my collar up tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I lived in town for a couple of years,
All it did was bring trouble and tears.
I got divorced, and set for a spell in prison.
It made me think that maybe town and trusting people is a bad decision.
Well, I\u2019ve probably lived half my life by now,
And I just want to be alone.
Just me, the horses and cows,
Watch them eat the knee-high grass.
Well, I guess guys like me come from a different class.
Hopefully I can leave a legacy of being a gentle cowhand,
And Lord, if I die tonight, out on the range,
Just me the horses and cattle;
Please tell the world I tried my best to be a good man,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And love being in the saddle.
Lord, let them know, there will always more horses to ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
