I dreamed I was a cowboy that I could do no wrong
I hade me a horse a saddle and a song

So I started down the road
So I started down the road

After riding many days so long
I came upon a man and he told me he was strong
And I laughed at him as he was just a crazy old man

And I went on down that road
So I traveled down the road

After a riding many months too long
I came upon the man and he showed me I was wrong
And he told me to go and find his son

So I started down the road
So I started down the road

And after awhile a many years gone by
I looked at the sky and I began to cry
As my horse she had died so long ago

And now I am lost upon that road
That long and lonely road
