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
