Year 6 Week 16 - Cowboy = with MP3

I live in cowboy country, along with the indians, and occassionally, a few aliens . . . . . . and as the great Mr. Dylan once put it, "the times, they are a changing."

COWBOY

He's a cowboy at the end of his rope
running out of time and he's running out of hope
the range that he roams slowly disappears
and the songs he once heard he no longer hears

spends long days in the saddle, and longer nights alone
and he dreams of a time he no longer has a home
and when the time comes he wonders where he'll go
but the truth of the matter is he just doesn't know

singing yippie eye oh, yippie oh why
does the good life that we once had
have to change, have to die

times are changing but not like we hoped
it's all about stress and learning how to cope
and the prairie dog barks and burrows in the ground
his days are numbered unless we turn things around

and the badlands that we knew are all becoming tame
bowing to conformity, becoming the same
and it's been so long I can't remember when
how I yearn to be free, free once again

singing yippie eye oh, yippie oh why
does the good life that we once had
have to change, have to die

and the desert sun's hotter that it ever was before
winter storms come earlier
it's getting harder to ignore
whatever we're doing, it's got to change
before it's too late, life will never be the same

singing yippie eye oh, yippie oh why
does the good life that we once had
have to change, have to die

singing yippie eye oh, yippie oh why
