Hey cowboy
I heard you moved away
To a place where the cattle
Run free and you never run outta hay
Hey cowboy
I heard they're buckin' bulls
And they're the meanest sons of bitches
That you ever coulda wished for
And hey cowboy
I know you're doin' fine
Cuz they've got dirt roads
For miles and the beers on ice
There's no more long, hard days
No more calves to tag or coals to break
And there's a one less hat in the arena tonight
But his entry fee's been paid
And now there's hoofprints on the streets of gold
Cuz today got called a cowboy home
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Hey cowboy
You left somethin' behind
That mustang's sittin' in the field
That nobody else but you can ride
Hey cowboy
You left your boots there by the door
I put your Stenson on the metal
And your dog's waitin' for ya
On the porch
And hey cowboy
I hope that you don't mind
But I took your old 6-B for a drive
There's no more long, hard days
No more calves to tag or coals to break
And there's a one less hat in the arena tonight
But his entry fee's been paid
And now there's hoofprints on the streets of gold
Cuz today got called a cowboy home
Ooh-ooh-woo-ooh
Ooh-ooh-woo-ooh
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Hey cowboy
How'd you leave without sayin' goodbye
I guess packin' your bags without a warnin'
Is just a cowboy alive
There's no more long, hard days
No more calves to tag or coals to break
And there's a one less hat in the arena tonight
But his entry fee's been paid
And now there's hoofprints on the streets of gold
Cuz today got called a cowboy home
Yeah today got called a cowboy home
Ooh-ooh-woo-ooh
Ooh-ooh-woo-ooh
