Lonestar - When Cowboys Didn't Dance lyrics

On an old forgotten trail

Six cowboys and one old man

In another day of hell

Chuckwagon laggin' behind

From the strain of a broken wheel

The only thing to look forward to

Is a campfire and a meal

Sleepin' beneath the open sky

With just the stars above their heads

A saddle for a pillow

And some sagebrush for a bed

Waking up tomorrow

Was merely done by chance

Back when the west was wild

And cowboys didn't dance

Chorus:

When cowboys didn't dance,

Didn't wear designer shirts

Their hearts were filled with memories

And bodies filled with hurt

They would sit around the campfire

And exchange a piercing glance

Back when the west was really wild,

And cowboys didn't dance

More coffee from an old tin cup

More sweat upon the brow

Another day of chasing

That same old lonely cow

And every new horizon

Began a brand new day

Thirteen-hundred miles to go

As they slowly made their way

Across the plains of Texas

Through the Colorado snow

Final destination,

Blackfoot, Idaho

When cowboys didn't dance,

Didn't wear designer shirts

Their hearts were filled with memories

And bodies filled with hurt

They would sit around the campfire

And exchange a piercing glance

Back when the west was really wild,

And cowboys didn't dance

*repeat chorus*

Seven hundred head of cattle

On an old forgotten trail

Five cowboys and one old man

In another day of hell
