You can ride a hundred miles And not see one fence And you can drink from The rivers and the streams And you can sleep under the stars No matter where you are In a cowboys dreams You can turn the radio on your truck And on a station hear Chris LeDoux sing And every road that you drive down Leads you further from a town In a cowboys dreams And everybodys got a horse and good rope And everbodys wearing boots, spurs, and jeans And men tip their hats with pride When a lady passes by Oh I wish love was what it seems In a cowboys dreams You can take a mans handshake As his solemn vow And when he says I do That's just what he means The only time that he might cry Is when his old cow pup dies In a cowboys dreams And everybodys got a horse and a good rope And everybodys wearing boots, spurs, and jeans And men tip their hats with pride When a lady passes by Oh I wish life was what it seems In a cowboys dreams A cowboys dreams You can ride a hundred miles And not see one fence.
