Faraway Skies

You wouldn't know by lookin' at me

I am a cowboy, my friend

I'm forever out riding upon the range of my mind

Dreamin' away all of my time

 

Cattle calls and canyon walls, the jangle of spurs

At the light of dawn, put the saddle on, start movin' the herd

The distant horizons are a glorious sight

And there's gettin' lost in the Milky Way at night

 

I got a lightnin' lassoo and my trusty horse Blue

I've got a six-shooter, too

I have an ol' Stetson hat and a shaggy mustache

Yes, I'm at home on the range

 

Tumbleweed and buffalo, the rivers run wild

Sunset over rollin' hills, ghost-rider sky

A campfire song has me feelin' just right

Yeah, I'm gettin' lost in the Milky Way tonight

 

Down on the sidewalk life passes me by

I've been too slow for these times

But now you'll be knowin' if ya look in my eyes

I'm a cowboy 'neath faraway skies

 

Ooh ooh, yippee yi-yi

I'm a cowboy 'neath faraway skies
