Lyrics
Cowpoke
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm lonesome but happy rich but I'm broke
And the good Lord knows the reason I'm just a cowpoke
From Cheyenne to Douglas all the ranges I know
Cause I drift with the wind no one cares where I go
I ain't got a dime in these old worn out jeans
So I'll stop eatin' steak and go back to beans
I'll pick up a ten spot and press God I know
Well I'm ridin' the broncs in the big rodeo
Some evening in springtime a filly I'll find
And we might spend all the summer with her on my mind
But I'll never be branded and never be broke
I'm a carefree range ridin' driftin' cowpoke
