Lyrics
[Intro]
Bury me where the wind don't blow
Where the dust won't cover me
Where the tall grass grows
Or bury me right where I fall
Tokyo to Tennessee
I loved them all
[Verse 1]
See the windmills turn up 55
Still got so much to learn
Still feel alive
And one lonely girl is all I need
To tie me to this world
Make be believe
[Chorus]
Well, I ain't no cowboy, but I can ride
And I ain't no outlaw, but I've been inside
And there were bars of steel, boys, and there were bars to sing
And there were bars with swingin' doors
For all the time between
[Verse 2]
Bury me in the last few lines
Of an obituary for these tryin' times
And find an old live oak to carve my name
Hard liquor and dirty jokes
Cheap picture frames
[Chorus]
Well, I ain't no cowboy, but I can ride
And I ain't no outlaw, but I've been inside
And there were men of stone, boys, and there were men of sand
Long nights alone, boys
Head in my hands
[Chorus]
Well, I ain't no cowboy, but I can ride
And I ain't no outlaw, but I've been inside
And there were bars of steel, boys, and there were bars to sing
And there were bars with swingin' doors for all the time between
[Outro]
There were bars with swingin' doors for all the time between
