I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be,
But a cowboy`s life was the only life for me.
It`s a strong man`s occupation ridin` herd and livin` free,
But strong men often fail
Where shrewd men can prevail,
I`m an old man now with nothin` left to say,
But oh god how I worked my youth away.
Well you may not recognise my face, I used to be a star,
A cowboy hero known both near and far.
I perched upon a silver mount and sang with my guitar,
But the studio of course,
owned my saddle and my horse,
But that six-gun on the wall belongs to me,
Oh god I can`t live a memory.
You know I`d like to put my finger on that trigger once again,
And point that gun at all the prideful men.
All the voyeurs and the lawyers who can pull a fountain pen,
And put you where they choose,
With the language that they use,
And enslave you till you work your youth away,
Oh god how I worked my youth away.
Whoopee ty yioh
Whoopee ty yi ay,
One man`s work is another man`s play
Oh god how I worked my youth away.
You see I always liked the notion of a cowboy fighting crime,
This photograph was taken in my prime,
I could beat those desperados but there`s no sense fightin` time,
But the singin` was a ball
Cause I`m not musical at all,
I moved my lips to someone else`s voice.
