Hazell Dean - Cowboy Band lyrics

When I was young and just a boy

I Had myself a dream

I'd get a horse and ride the range

With Roy and Gene

We'd save the girl in the nick of time

And have the fastest guns

Sing a song while the credits rolled

And disappear into the setting sun

I didn't want to play football

Or be a business man

All I ever really wanted to do

Was play in a cowboy band

So give me a guitar

And some shined up boots

And I'll show you where I stand

Somewhere out on the Navajo trail

(Somewhere out on the stage tonight)

Playin' in a cowboy band

When I was nine I stood in line

To see Merle and The Strangers play

But when the show was over

And the lights went down

I climbed up on that stage

I looked at all that I would play

And they'd be dancin' in the aisles

So give me a guitar

And some shined up boots

And I'll show you where I stand

Somewhere out on the Navajo trail

(Somewhere out on the stage tonight)

Playin' in a cowboy band

Yea, I just might be in your hometown tonight

But I'll be playin' in a cowboy band...
