You Dad I watched John Wayne on a corduroy couch I didn't know Texas from a hole in the ground, but I wrote me Yeah That's where it all began The stick was a rifle the bully was a rock good guys one and the bad guys lost we climb them trees We were wild Me and my buddies ran that town We were cowboys I'm running like wild horses couldn't beat a we were cowboys Didn't know nothing but we knew everything we never made it ain't never won a bubble, but man we was When I turned 16 my saddle was a front seat of that 1993 Silverado On the dirt road I Was Eastwood cool with a Marlboro red a stick blanket in a neat foot beater and bragging rights Every Saturday night Them small-town girls couldn't help but fall for us We were cowboys Running like wild horses. It couldn't be say we were cowboy Didn't know nothing but we knew everything we never made it ain't never won a bubble, but man we were something You We were cowboys Jumping barbed wire fences and rope in the wind we were cowboys Now anything changed since we were kids We were cowboys Couldn't beat a we were cowboys Didn't know nothing but we knew everything Never made it ain't never won a bubble, but man we were something Wouldn't change nothing couldn't tell us nothing cuz man we were something damn we were something Mmm You We were cowboys
