We Were Cowboys

Daddy watched John Wayne on a corduroy couch I didn't know Texas from a hole in the ground But it roped me in, that's where it all began A stick was a rifle, a bullet was a rock Good guys won and the bad guys lost We climbed them trees, we were wild and free Me and my buddies ran that town We were cowboys Runnin' like wild horses that couldn't be tamed We were cowboys Didn't know nothing but we knew everything We never made it eight, never won a buckle But man, we were something When I turned 16 my saddle was the front seat of that 1993 Silverado On a dirt road I was Eastwood cool with a Marlboro Red Aztec blanket in an eight food bed Earnin' braggin' rights, every Saturday night Them small town girls couldn't help but fall for us We were cowboys Runnin' like wild horses that couldn't be tamed We were cowboys Didn't know nothing but we knew everything We never made it eight, never won a buckle But man, we were something, yeah Yeah, yeah We were cowboys We were cowboys Jumpin' barbed wire fences and ropin' the wind We were cowboys No, ain't a thing changed since we were kids We were cowboys Runnin' like wild horses that couldn't be tamed We were cowboys Didn't know nothing but we knew everything We never made it eight, never won a buckle But man, we were something Wouldn't change nothing Couldn't tell us nothing, 'cause man, we were something Damn, we were something Mmm, we were cowboys We were cowboys
