Modern Day Cowboys
By
Robert Lee King
[VERSE]
My friends tell me, I look
good in hats
I look at them, wonder where
they're getting that
Running around playing cowboy
Just isn't my thing
Long hair, screaming guitars,
pretty girls, driving fast cars
Taking chance, just a little
too far
That's the way I like life
to be
Sorry folks, there's no cowboy
in me
[CHORUS]
Modern day cowboys, they don't
rope or ride
Few are ever seen, strapping
six shooters to their side
Silver belt buckles, worn
just for show
Stetson hats and pickup trucks
without a spec of dust
Wouldn't know a plow from
a hoe
Modern day cowboys, cowboys
for show
[VERSE]
Riding the range, long since
gone
No pony express, delivering
mail
And cattle sells on Ebay for
a song
Few family farms remain, and
the dairies are just the same
Corporations buy them as the
fall
And country music today, ain't
country at all
[CHORUS]
Modern day cowboys, they don't
rope or ride
Few are ever seen, strapping
six shooters to their side
Silver belt buckles, worn
just for show
Stetson hats and pickup trucks
without a spec of dust
Wouldn't know a plow from
a hoe
Modern day cowboys, cowboys
for show
[VERSE]
Somehow, the worl changed,
few have ever seen the range
In a time when hurry is the
norm
Don't they see, they're playing
games
Empty shells of a once proud
name
Now it's just a look, really
nothing more.
[CHORUS]
Modern day cowboys, they don't
rope or ride
Few are ever seen, strapping
six shooters to their side
Silver belt buckles, worn
just for show
Stetson hats and pickup trucks
without a spec of dust
Wouldn't know a plow from
a hoe
Modern day cowboys, cowboys
for show
