Lyrics: Where Have All The Cowboys Gone
Album: This Fire
Artist: Paula Cole
 

Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
Why don’t we go sit down in the shade
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold lemonade
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills

CHORUS:

Where is my John Wayne
Where is my prairie son
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the Cowboys gone

Why don’t you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I’ll fix a little something to eat
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills

chorus

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don’t even notice me
Say our goodbyes (3 times)

We finally sold the Chevy
When we had another baby
And you took that job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week

I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer
Where is my John Wayne
Where is my prairie son
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the Cowboys gone
Where is my Marlboro Man
Where is his shiny gun
Where is my lonely ranger
Where have all the cowboys gone
Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea (3 times)
