Nickel Creek - I'm An Old Cowhand lyrics

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tanned

I'm the cowboy who never saw a cow

Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how

I sure ain't fixin' to start in now

Yippee i oh ti-ay! Yippee i oh ti-ay!

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

And I learned to ride before I learned to stand

I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date

I know every trail in the Lone Star State

'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8

Yippee i oh ti-ay! Yippee i oh ti-ay!

We're old cowhands from the Rio Grande

And we come to town just to hear the band

We know all the songs that the cowboys know

'Bout the Big Corral where the dogies go

We learned them all on the radio

Yipee i oh ti-ay! Yippee i oh ti-ay!

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

Where the West is wild all around the borderland

Where the buffalo roam around the zoo

And the Indians run up a rug or two

And the old Bar X is just a barbeque

Yippee i oh ti-ay!

I'm a pioneer who began from scratch

I don't bat an eye in a suit or hat

They don't call me Elmer, they call me Satch

Yippee i oh ti-ay! Yippee i oh ti-ay! Yippee i oh ti-ay!
