Lyrics

The Texans are gathered up in Colorado The kid with a fast gun ain't with them today The cowboys are riding tall in the saddle They shoot from the heart with the songs that they play There's a right handsome woman on up around Boulder They got slick hardwood floors and a pot belly stove She swears I am someone she can believe in She the best Colorado gal I've ever known We are the cowboys the true sons of freedom We are the men who will get the job done We're picking our words so we won't have to eat them We're rounding them up and then driving them home Cowboys are average American people Texicans mexicans black man and jews They love this old world and they don't want to loose it There counting on me and there counting on you The world will breathe easy when we stop the bleeding The fighting will end when all hunger is gone There's those who are blind so will all have to lead them It's everyones job till we get the work done We are the cowboys the true sons of freedom We are the men who will get the job done We're picking our words so we won't have to eat them We're rounding them up and then driving them home We're rounding them up and then driving them home
