A Cowboy Like Me - Chris Ledoux[00:00:02]
Just barely eighteen[00:00:09]
When the Great War was through[00:00:11]
Ridin' and fighin' was all that I knew[00:00:13]
Hard life and death was all that I seen[00:00:17]
Ridin' hell bend for leather[00:00:22]
In search of a dream[00:00:24]
I rode drag on a heard up the old Chisum trail[00:00:30]
Straight through Oklahoma to Dodge City's jail[00:00:34]
My hard dusty wages played out way too soon[00:00:38]
On whisky and Keno at the Long Branch Saloon[00:00:43]
All I have left is my stories to tell[00:00:51]
Heavens too far and I'm plumb scared of hell[00:00:56]
Nobody wants this pain and misery[00:01:01]
But there still are some who think[00:01:05]
They could be a cowboy like me[00:01:07]
I spent one lonely winter in an old line shack[00:01:20]
With beans in my belly rain on my back[00:01:25]
A ration of coffee and a mountain of snow[00:01:29]
With cattle to attend to at forty below[00:01:34]
And it's back for the round up in April or May[00:01:42]
You round up the calf's boys[00:01:46]
And you cut out the strays[00:01:48]
And you might touch a woman[00:01:51]
Before the long summer ends[00:01:53]
Then it's back to the line shack[00:01:56]
And do it all again[00:01:58]
All I have left is my stories to tell[00:02:04]
Heavens too far and I'm plumb scared of hell[00:02:08]
Nobody wants this pain and misery[00:02:13]
But there still are some[00:02:17]
Who think they could be a cowboy like me[00:02:19]
I've given some bad guys a hard way to go[00:02:33]
I busted my bones in them old time rodeos[00:02:37]
I might have stretched truth Lord[00:02:42]
But I've never lied[00:02:44]
Can't you tell I'm a cowboy[00:02:46]
By the scars on my side[00:02:49]
But I rode with Cole Younger[00:02:54]
And New Jesse James[00:02:56]
Me and old Wyatt use to[00:02:59]
Ride on the range[00:03:00]
And men all said sir to my Colt 45[00:03:03]
And I was with Hitchcock the night[00:03:09]
That he died[00:03:11]
All I have left is my stories to tell[00:03:16]
Heavens too far[00:03:20]
And I'm plumb scared of hell[00:03:22]
Nobody wants this pain and misery[00:03:25]
But there still are some[00:03:29]
Who think they could be a cowboy like me[00:03:31]
