Lyrics Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson

We Are the Cowboys

Texans are gathered up in Colorado

The kid with a fast gun ain't with them today

The cowboys are riding tall in the saddle

They shoot from the heart with the songs that they play

There's a right handsome woman on up around Boulder

They got slick hardwood floors and a pot belly stove

She swears I am someone she can believe in

She the best Colorado gal I've ever known

We are the cowboys the true sons of freedom

We are the men who will get the job done

We're picking our words so we won't have to eat them

We're rounding them up and then driving them home

Cowboys are average American people

Texicans mexicans black man and jews

They love this old world and they don't want to loose it

There counting on me and there counting on you

The world will breathe easy when we stop the bleeding

The fighting will end when all hunger is gone

There's those who are blind so will all have to lead them

It's everyones job till we get the work done

We are the cowboys the true sons of freedom

We are the men who will get the job done

We're picking our words so we won't have to eat them

We're rounding them up and then driving them home

We're rounding them up and then driving them home
