Cowboy of Dreams

Saw a sign on the highway

I was driving a long way home

On a hilltop

Is where I belong

I took a look at the hole

Where my head used to be

And I'll sing you a song

That descended on me

The way I live

Determines the way

My people survive

Yes, the way I live

Determines the way

My people survive

So I went to the country

To look up a friend

'Cause I heard that the house

And the barn had a blend

I took a look at the hole

Where the bird used to be

And I'll sing him a song

Because he sang one for me

The way I live

Determines the way

My people survive

Yes, the way I live

Determines the way

My people survive

And the names of the cowboys

Will all blow away

Like the dust off the desert

On a hot windy day

I tried so hard to tell you

In so many ways

That I'm scared of

The heartache and scenes

With the cowboy of dreams

And the names of the cowboys

Will all blow away

Like the dust off the desert

On a hot windy day

I tried so hard to tell you

In so many ways

That I'm scared of

The heartache and scenes

With the cowboy of dreams
