When Cowboys Didn`t Dance Lyrics

(Richie McDonald/Kyle Green)

Seven hundred head of cattle on an old
forgotten trail
Six cowboys and one old man in another day of
hell
Chuckwagon lagging behind from the strain of a broken wheel
The only
thing to look forward to was a campfire and a meal
Asleep beneath an open sky
with just the stars above their heads
A saddle for a pillow and some
sagebrush for a bed
Waking up tomorrow was merely down by chance
Back
when the west was wild and cowboys didn't dance

When cowboys didn't
dance
Didn't wear designer shirts
When their hearts were filled with
memories
Their bodies filled with hurt
They would sit around the campfire
and exchange a piercing glance
Back when the west was really wild and cowboys
didn't dance

More coffee from an old tin cup, more sweat upon the
brow
Another day of chasing that same old lonely cow
With every new
horizon began a brand new day
Thirteen hundred miles to go as they slowly
made their way
Across the plains of Texas and through the Colorado
snow
Final Destination, Blackfoot, Idaho

When cowboys didn't
dance
Didn't wear designer shirts
When their hearts were filled with
memories
Their bodies filled with hurt
They would sit around the campfire
and exchange a piercing glance
Back when the west was really wild and cowboys
didn't dance

When cowboys didn't dance
Didn't wear designer
shirts
When their hearts were filled with memories
Their bodies filled
with hurt
They would sit around the campfire and exchange a piercing
glance
Back when the west was really wild and cowboys didn't
dance

Seven hundred head of cattle on an old forgotten trail
Five
cowboys and one old man in another day of hell
