From the recordings A Cowboys Dream and A Cowboys Dream
I wrote this song about one of my neighbors who passed away a few years back, I wanted to do something for him to keep his memory alive. He was a real cowboy and he loved the cowboy life and everything about it.
Lyrics
It’s a cowboys dream
To work hard everyday
Squirrelin’ that money
That money away
Buy a piece of land
A piece of land some day
He can call his own
(short lead)
Then one day
he’ll raise a family
And some horses too
He trusts in God above
This life, he does love
It’s a cowboys dream
mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
(short lead)
Then one day his good life
Will end
He gave thanks to the Lord above
Last thing he said
Then his good friends
We all got together one day
And on his good land,
his ashes ….
We did spread
For the life he led (repeats G to D 2x)
(second time repeats without a vocal)
It’s a cowboys…. A cowboys dream (4x) mmm, mmm
