Cowboy Kid Lyrics


Wade Bowen Cowboy Kid

[Verse 1]
I ain't old
But I'm old enough to know
It wasn't really all that long ago
I could rope I could ride or rob a train
Be back home when the dinner bell rang
That was life it was outside day and night
I never felt what being fenced in felt like
All I knew was wide open and running free
And who'd have thought that I'd grow up to be
[Chorus]
That cap gun cowboy kid I was
Hot on the trail when the sun came up
Chasin' those crazy dreams in my head
Like wild west, Jesse James, John Wayne's did
Now and then I'd save the world
Rescued and rode off with the girl
It's finally all adding up
Oh I am who I am because
Of that cap gun cowboy kid I was

[Bridge]
I don't know exactly where or when
I traded my old palomino in
For that blonde pawn shop ol beat up guitar
And saddled up this shooting star

[Chorus]
Like that cap gun cowboy kid I was
Hot on the trail when the sun came up
Chasin' those crazy dreams in my head
Like wild west, Jesse James, John Wayne's did
Now and then I'd save the world
Rescued and rode off with the girl
Yeah I wouldn't change a thing
I am who I am because
Of that cap gun cowboy kid I was
[Bridge]
I tried to raise you up
Not to be like me
Cause I'm a thunder storm, a rolling stone, a tumbleweed
But I'm sorry son
I look at you and see

[Chorus]
That cap gun cowboy kid I was
Hot on the trail when the sun came up
Chasin' those crazy dreams in my head
Like Real McCoys, Jesse James John Wayne's did
Those memories are as good as it gets
Oh I am who I am because
Of that cap gun cowboy kid I was

Cowboy kid
