WHERE HAVE ALL THE COWBOYS GONE?
BY PAULA COLE
One, two, three, four
Oh, you get me ready
In your '56 Chevy Why don't we go sit down in the shade? Take shelter on my front porch The dande lion sun scorching Like a glass of cold lemonade I will do the laundry If you pay all the bills
Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song? Where is my happy ending? Where have all the cowboys gone?
Why don't you stay the evening?
Kick back and watch the TV And I'll fix a little something to eat Oh, I know your back hurts From working on the tractor How do you take your coffee, my sweet?
I will raise the children
If you pay all the bills
I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't, but you don't even notice me
Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes Say our goodbyes
We finally sell the Chevy
When we had another baby And you took that job in Tennessee You made friends at the farm And you join them at the bar Almost every single day of the week
I will wash the dishes
While you go have a beer Where is my Marlboro Man? Where is his shiny gun? Where is my lonely ranger?
