Bronco Bill's Lament[00:00:00]

I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be[00:00:00]

But a cowboy's life was the only life for me[00:00:05]

It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free[00:00:10]

But strong men often fail[00:00:16]

Where shrewd men can prevail[00:00:19]

I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say[00:00:22]

But oh god how I worked my youth away[00:00:27]

Well you may not recognize my face I used to be a star[00:00:33]

A cowboy hero known both near and far[00:00:39]

I perched upon a silver mount and sang with my guitar[00:00:43]

But the studio of course[00:00:49]

Owned my saddle and my horse[00:00:51]

But that six gun on the wall belongs to me[00:00:54]

Oh god I can't live a memory[00:00:59]

You know I'd like to put my finger on that trigger once again[00:01:05]

And point that gun at all the prideful men[00:01:10]

All the voyeurs and the lawyers who can pull a fountain pen[00:01:15]

And put you where they choose[00:01:21]

With the language that they use[00:01:24]

And enslave you till you work your youth away[00:01:27]

Oh god how I worked my youth away[00:01:32]

Whoopee ty yioh[00:01:37]

Whoopee ty yi ay[00:01:39]

One man's work is another man's play[00:01:42]

Oh God how I worked my youth away[00:01:47]

You see I always liked the notion of a cowboy fighting crime[00:01:53]

This photograph was taken in my prime[00:01:59]

I could beat those desperados but there's no sense fightin' time[00:02:04]

But the singin' was a ball[00:02:09]

'Cause I'm not musical at all[00:02:12]

I moved my lips to someone else's voice[00:02:14]

I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be[00:02:29]

But a cowboy's life was the only life for me[00:02:34]

It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free[00:02:38]

But strong men often fail[00:02:44]

Where shrewd men can prevail[00:02:47]

I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say[00:02:50]

But oh god how I worked my youth away[00:02:54]
