Portrait Of A Cowboy
Starry skies give him shelter
three layers of clothes on his skin
In the saddle since early mornin'
only God 's lookin' down at him.
He knows the hills and the prarie
as if they were his own backyard
Strappin' supplies on his packhorse
a wrangler's life sure is hard
He's a Cowboy tryin' to grab onto
The way things were back in 1840
And the signs of the times
are makin' him blue
He rides on a horse he calls Shorty.
Wearin' a hat with a sweatring
blue denim shirt faded jeans
Wornout boots spurs that jingle
been ridin' since his early teens.
Sparklin' eyes with a twinkle
sideburns comin' down his ears
His silent, soft-spoken manner
ain't nothin' the cowboy fears
He's a Cowboy tryin' to grab onto
The way things were back in 1840
And the signs of the times are makin' him blue
He rides on a horse he calls Shorty.
Protects his doggies from a blizzard
strandin' away from their feed
From sickness and prarie fire
providin' whatever they need.
Cowboys are like ragin' stallions
their mind determined as hell
Shaped by the land that they live on
That's the image we love so well
That's the image we love so well.
He's a Cowboy tryin' to grab onto
The way things were back in 1840
And the signs of the times are makin' him blue
He rides on a horse he calls Shorty
He rides on a horse he calls Shorty.

Wild in the Country
A rose grows wild in the country
A tree grows tall at the sky
The wind blows wild in the country
And part of the wild, wild country
Am I.
Wild, wild,
Like the deer and the dove
Wild an free
Is this land that I love
A rose grows wild in the country
A tree grows tall at the sky
The wind blows wild in the country
And part of the wild, wild country
Am I.
Wild, wild,
Like the deer and the dove
Wild an free
Is this land that I love
A dream grows wild in the country
A love grows tall as the sky
A heart beats wild in the country
And here with the dream in my heart
Part of the wild, wild country
Am I.

Ring Of Fire
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
When heart like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Ooh, but the fire went wild
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire. |

Makin’ Love Last
You look so good in the moonlight
As we say good-night at your door
I see that wanting me look in your eyes
But that’s not what I’m looking for
Too many times I played a fool
By rushing in way too fast
So tonight I’m not thinking ‘bout making love
I’m thinking ‘bout making love last.
I used to think I could find love
In the arms of an overnight friend
A few magic moments on top of the world
Always let me down in the end
Now I found you I believe
Forever is in my grasp
So tonight I’m not thinking ‘bout making love
I’m thinking ‘bout making love last.
If it was easy as holdin’ you tight
I would never let you go
But girl for this heart of mine
Love takes time
So lets take it slow
I want to be a part of your future
Not just a part of your past
So tonight I’m not thinking ‘bout making love
I’m thinking ‘bout making love last.
So tonight I’m not thinking ‘bout making love
I’m thinking ‘bout making love last. |
Pretend I Never Happened
Pretend I never happend
Erase me from your mind
You will not want to remember
Any love as cold as mine
I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
For a place I hope I'll find
All the places must be better
Than the ones I leave behind.
I don't suppose you'll be unhappy
You'll find ways to spend your time
But if you ever think about me
If I ever cross your mind.
Just pretend I never happend
Erase me from your mind, girl
You will not want to remember
Any love as cold as mine
I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
For a place I hope I'll find
All the places must be better
Than the ones I leave behind.
I don't suppose you'll be unhappy
You'll find ways to spend your time
But if you ever think about me
If I ever cross your mind.
Just pretend I never happend
Erase me from your mind, girl
You will not want to remember
Any love as cold as mine
I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
For a place I hope I'll find
All the places must be better
Than the ones I leave behind.

I Took the -U- Out of Us
I took the –U- out of us
I forgot I love you so much
I wanted to be free from your touch
Now I took the U out of us.
Once in a lifetime someone comes along
To share all your dreams and make life a song
I took you for granted you left me behind
Then I heard you say you’re no longer mine.
I took the U out of us
I forgot I love you so much
I wanted to be free from your touch
Now I took the U out of us.
Have you ever wondered why love is so rare
You don’t always find that perfect pair
Now lookin’ back I see where I went wrong
Now I’d like to change the words of this song.
I put the U back in us
I remember I love you so much
I don’t want to be free from your touch
Now I put the U back in us
I put the U back in us.

Hollywood All Over Again
I always wished I could have an affair
Like Ginger Rodgers and good ole Fred Astaire
That kind of romance that never ever dies
Where the hero and his lady
Watch the sunset melt the sky.
Then like a scene from an old picture show
You came into my life and played the leading role
We fell in love just like Joe and Norma Jean
And it’s all picture perfect like on the silver screen.
It’s like Hollywood all over again
Every time we make love It’s a dream without end
It’s like Hollywood all over again.
I always knew that some day I’d find you
Like “Three coins in a fountain”
You’re my wish that came true
Together forever from here to eternity
You’re the story of my life you’re the only star for me.
It’s like Hollywood all over again
Every time we make love it’s a dream without end
It’s like Hollywood all over again.
It’s like Hollywood all over again
Every time we make love it’s a dream without end
It’s like Hollywood all over again.
It’s like Hollywood all over again. |
Song From Rio Bravo
The sun is sinkin' in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The red wing settles in her nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream.
Purple eyes in the canyon
That's where I long to be
With my sweet, good companion
Just my rifle, pony and me.
Gonna hang my sombrero
On the limb of a tree
Comin' home, sweetheart darlin'
Just my rifle, my pony and me.
Whipper will in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Ridin' to Amarillo
Just my rifle, pony and me
No more cow to be ropin
No more strain will I see
Round the bend she'll be waitin'
For my rifle my pony and me
Whipper will in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Ridin' to Amarillo
Just my rifle, pony and me
No more cow to be ropin
No more strain will I see
Round the bend she'll be waitin'
For my rifle my pony and me
For my rifle my pony and me

God Must Be A Cowboy At Heart
Campfire, coffee, from a tincup in my hand
It sure warms the fingers when it's cold.
Playin' an old guitar, a friend I understand
It'll sure smooth the wrinkles in my soul.
Sleepin' in the moonlight, a blanket for a bed
It leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind
Wakin' up in the mornin' with an eagle overhead
Makes me long to fly away before my time
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
'cause he made wide open spaces from the start
He made grass and trees and mountains
And a horse to be a friend
And trails to lead old cowboys home again.
Nightlife in big cities is alright for a while
It'll sure make you feel good when you're there
But the country's so pretty, it goes on and on for miles
And it takes away my troubles and my cares.
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
'cause he made wide open spaces from the start
He made grass and trees and mountains
And a horse to be a friend
And trails to lead old cowboys home again.
And trails to lead old cowboys home again.

On Top Of The Mornin'
I'm feelin' on top of the mornin'
When the sky is saphire blue
I remeber your smile in the sunlight
You said your love would last
A whole life thru.
I'm feelin' on top of the mornin'
When skies are cryin' and grey
I remember your sparkling eyes sayin'
You are my reason to make it
Thru the day.
I'm feelin' on top of the mornin'
When the winds blow high in the sky
When whispy clouds rush on by
What good is all the earthly worth
When your love ain't givin' me new birth.
I'm feelin' on top of the mornin'
In a heavy snowflake storm
I remember you've given your all to me
I can rest my head where I feel warm.

Take Me Home
Take me back to my little mountain home
I can't stand the bright lights any more
I'm missin' my ole hometown in the valley
My true friends that I once had before.
I came here to see the glamor of the city
I have made some fortune and some fame
But I would trade it all before tomorrow
If I could spend some time with you again.
Take me home to where the grass is greener
Take me home to where the sky's so blue
Take me home to where the birds sing sweeter
Take me home 'cause I'm still missin' you.
I thought time would wipe out memories
I believed that freedom was my goal
But freedom's just another word for lonely
I'm headin' for my little mountain home.
Take me home to where the grass is greener
Take me home to where the sky's so blue
Take me home to where the birds sing sweeter
Take me home 'cause I'm still missin' you.
Take me home to where the grass is greener
Take me home to where the sky's so blue
Take me home to where the birds sing sweeter
Take me home 'cause I'm still missin' you.
Take me home 'cause I'm still missin' you.

Too Many Footprints
I try to tell myself it's not important
You've been in love so many times before
But I won't be back to be another number
There are too many footprints on your floor
Too many footprints on your floor
And some of them were bigger shoes than mine How many others have you kissed
Goodnight at your front door
There are too many footprints on your floor
Too many footprints on your floor
And some of them were bigger shoes than mine How many others have you kissed
Goodnight at your front door
There are too many footprints on your floor
When I find love, I wanna find a true love
I'm gonna stand where noone's stood before
So good-bye and if you must know why I'm leaving
There are too many footprints on your floor.
Too many footprints on your floor
And some of them were bigger shoes than mine How many others have you kissed
Goodnight at your front door
There are too many footprints on your floor
There are too many footprints on your floor.

Just For The Record
I won’t ask you to take me back
no matter how bad I want you to
I won’t ask for forgiveness after the all
the hurt I put you through
I slipped around and cheated ´cause
I thought perhaps I needed someone new
But for what it’s worth sweetheart I’d like to say
Just for the record I still love you
Just for the record
You’re still on my mind
Just for the record
You’ve been there quite some time
I couldn’t forget you
Even if I wanted to
Just for the record
I still love you.
I can’t say that I blame you if you
never want to see my face again
´cause the only thing I gave you
were the lonely nights and the
wonderings where I’ve been
I took your love for granted now
you’re taking all your love to someone new
But for it’s worth sweetheart I’d like to say
Just for the record I still love you.
Just for the record
You’re still on my mind
Just for the record
You’ve been there quite some time
I couldn’t forget you
Even if I wanted to
Just for the record
I still love you.
Just for the record
I still love you. |
Dream That American Dream
Always dreamed of bein' a cowboy
In the days when I was young
Thrilled by the cowboy's shootin' skills
Wished I had a holster and gun.
Always dreamed of bein' a trucker
Down that American road
Marvel at the beauty of our land
Rollin' along with my load.
God bless America, land of the free
Our nation of liberty was made for you and me
God bless America, we've got our dream
In a country of freedom we think
and say what we mean.
Always dreamed of bein' a rancher
Drivin' cattle all day long
Gazin' at the sun settin' in the west
Ridin' and singin' this song:
God bless America, land of the free
Our nation of liberty was made for you and me
God bless America, we've got our dream
In a country of freedom we think
and say what we mean..
God bless America, land of the free
God bless America, we've got our dream.

Stop And Smell The Roses
I was just too busy
Trying to make a buck
Nights would find me working late
Always catching up
But while I was getting ahead
I got left behind
I didn’t stop to smell the roses
I didn’t have the time.
She was always lonely
And I was always gone
I never could afford to spend
Too much time at home
I felt before I grew too old
I had to make my mark
I should have stopped
And smelled the roses
Before I broke her heart.
I stopped today to smell the roses
I should have years ago
I’ve never seen ones beauty
I never watched one grow
I stopped today to smell the roses but to my regret
When I stopped to smell the roses
They were sent from someone else
When I stopped to smell the roses
They were sent from someone else |

True Blue Country Gal
I was doin' alright till the vows were said
Headin' for my pick-up the battery was dead
Sittin' there tryin' to get it in gear
She goes for the bar to down a few beer.
Went n' found me a true blue country gal
Auburn hair pretty face
But man if ya don't know what you're doin'
Wrong country gal can be your ruin.
I was doin' OK till we reached the front door
My cabin was saggin' the roof was no more
Wind starts blowin', rain beatin' down
My true country gal, puts on a frown.
Went n' found me a true blue country gal
Auburn hair pretty face
But man if ya don't know what you're doin'
Wrong country gal can be your ruin.
I was still doin' fine till she cooked my first meal
Doin' the laundry was a big deal
She heard I was broke her good nature fell
Put her stuff in a bag sent her straight back to
(ya'll know where)
Well I found me a true blue country gal
Auburn hair pretty face
But man if ya don't know what you're doin'
Wrong country gal can be your ruin.
Well I found me a true blue country gal
Auburn hair pretty face
But man if ya don't know what you're doin'
Wrong country gal can be your ruin.
Wrong country gal will be your ruin!

Every Time I Think It Over
When we run into problems
it’s always hard for me to compromise
I get to thinking about my freedom
and the ways that I can start another life
I wonder if our forever
Could be coming to an end
So every time I think it’s over
I think it over again.
I’ve finally come to realize
that ups and downs are all a part of love
There’s just no better feeling
when the anger dies and we start making up
And from that new beginning
We come back to being friends
So every time I think it’s over
I think it over again.
Too many hearts get broken
I know that happens all the time
But when you split love down the middle tell me
Where do you draw the line
Any way you look at it
Does anybody win
So every time I think it’s over
I think it over again
So every time I think it’s over
I think it over again.

Designer Genes
I was leaning on rail watching couples two-step by
When I a pair of faded jeans caught the corner of my eye
I did a three-sixty turned around to check her out
And when I got a better look for sure there were no doubts
Those must be designer genes
I see her daddy is a looker and her momma is a queen Those must be designer genes
Her DNA structure is a genetic dream
Must be designer genes.
Well the band kept playing
as my heart said let’s take a chance
So I walked on up behind those picture perfect pants
I used my best line can I buy you a drink
Then she looked me up and down and said
Honey what do you think?
Those must be designer genes
I see your daddy is a looker and your momma is a queen Those must be designer genes
You’re the best thing this cowboy’s seen
Mercy
Designer Genes
I see her daddy is a looker and her momma is a queen Those must be designer genes
Her DNA structure is a genetic dream
Must be designer genes.
(spoken) Sure do like them chromosomes. |

Down From The Mountain
Down from the montain to the valley below
Where there is a cowboy home he will go
Ropin' and brandin' all the day long
Then in the ev'nin' you'll hear his song:
Whoopee ti yi ye, wohoopee ti yi yo
Down from the mountain to the valley below
Whoopee ti yi ye, wohoopee ti yi yo
Down from the mountain to the valley below.
Drivin' them doggies to the prarie below
The longhorn are restless movin' so slow
Crossin' the dessert no water in sight
Over the mountain the lake shines so bright.
Whoopee ti yi ye, wohoopee ti yi yo
Down from the mountain to the valley below
Whoopee ti yi ye, wohoopee ti yi yo
Down from the mountain to the valley below.
The roundup is over the work is all done
Tired of the saddle carryin' my gun
Ride to the railroad home I must go
Down from the mountain to the valley below.
Whoopee ti yi ye, wohoopee ti yi yo
Down from the mountain to the valley below
Whoopee ti yi ye, wohoopee ti yi yo
Down from the mountain to the valley below.
Whoopee ti yi ye, wohoopee ti yi yo
Down from the mountain to the valley below
Down from the mountain.....to my sweetlove below.

Stormy Days
My love, you say it's over
I apologise to you
For heartaches and the sorrow
The pain I've put you thru
I didn't mean to hurt you
No matter what you say
It sure looks like it will be
Just another stormy day.
I tried so hard to please you
In every way I can
I guess it's much too late now
You'll never understand
The clouds are buildin' up now
There's nothin' left to say
It sure looks like it will be
Just another stormy day
Dark clouds in life mean trouble
And heartaches be the score
I'm beggin' you my sweet love
Please don't walk out that door
Come sit down here beside me
And wipe those tears away
Let's say good-bye forever
To another stormy day
Let's say good-bye forever
To another stormy day.

Livin' Free (Duck Lake Song)
Pack up, leave behind all that greed all that haste
All that highstringin' cut-throatin' business and waste
Some men share a dream for the call of the wild
To escape city's pressures income tax files
Livin' free and breathin' easy
Leave all your worries behind
Livin' free and breathin' easy
Leave all your worries behind.
Watch them baldheaded eagles soarin' up high
See the red ball of fire as it sets in the sky
All them young cityslickers work fingers to the bone
Monthly installments mortgage and loans.
Livin' free and breathin' easy
Leave all your worries behind
Livin' free and breathin' easy
Leave all your worries behind.
Take off to a place that you'll never forget
Carin', good-lovin' folks I've always met
Country folks have a heart made of pure gold
Never fret or complain come rain, heat or cold.
Livin' free and breathin' easy
Leave all your worries behind
Livin' free and breathin' easy
Leave all your worries behind.
Livin' free and breathin' easy
Leave all your worries behind
Livin' free and breathin' easy
Leave all your worries behind.

Goin' Home Together
The stallion runs free out there in the prarie
Goin' home, goin' home together
The eagle soars high to his nest he is wingin'
Goin' home goin' home together
Down the dusty trail I ride
Cross the river I'm nearly home
You're not here beside me
oh, you're not here beside me
I'm comin' I'm comin' home alone.
I once found true love
I've never forgotten
Goin' home, goin' home together
Your sweet gentle touch
no more your soft clingin'
Goin' home, goin' home together.
Down the dusty trail I ride
Cross the river I'm nearly home
You're not here beside me
oh, you're not here beside me
I'm comin' I'm comin' home alone.
Ev'ry man seeks a mate for company he's lookin'
Goin' home, goin' home together
Who loses his love is left alone cryin'
Goin' home, goin' home alone
Down the dusty trail I ride
Cross the river I'm nearly home
You're not here beside me
oh, you're not here beside me
I'm comin' I'm comin' home alone.
You're not here beside me, you're not here beside me
I'm comin' I'm comin' home alone.

A Cowboys Prayer
Lord I pray, keep our wide open spaces
Room for my cattle to go wander places
May stars shine over us each night
And always be our guidin' light.
Lord I pray, give me your special care
When I go buckin' at the county fair
And keep me safe up in my saddle
When I am herdin' longhorn cattle.
Oh Lord, my prayer goes direct to thee
Let all people live in harmony
I am grateful for the things you've done
For sendin' us your only son.
Lord I pray, protect the ones I love
And give me courage when life's road gets rough
And let me stand up proud and tall
When my work's all done this fall.
Lord I pray, give us our daily need
Protect my doggies from a wild stampede
And take me to you when I die
Home gently to your by and by.
Oh Lord, my prayer goes direct to thee
Let all people live in harmony
I am grateful for the things you've done
For sendin' us your only son.
For sendin' us your only son.

Adios Amigo
Adios amigo, adios my friend
The road we have travelled
Has come to an end
When two love the same love
One love has to lose
And it's you who she longs for
It's you she will choose.
Adios compadre, what must be must be
remember to name one muchacho for me
I ride to the Rio
Where my life I will spend
Adios amigo, adios my friend.
Adios compadre
Let u shed no tears
May all your mananas
Bring joy through the years
Away from these mem'ries
My life I will spend
Adios amigo, adios my friend
Adios amigo, adios my friend
