歌詞: Billy Dean. Cowboy Band.

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

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 upon 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, ooh, ooh

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

Yeah, in a cowboy band, yeah
In a cowboy band
