Seventeen |
| When he was five years old his mom took him down to the round corral |
| To watch his dad work the young horse they called Smokey man did that horse buck |
| But his old dad just sat up there and rode him like there was nothin' to it |
| Right then the boy gained a whole new respect for the man |
| And from that day on he knew that when he grew up he wanted to be a cowboy |
| Seventeen cowboys' dreams ain’t on fixin' fences |
| Once he’s seen 'em ride in old Cheyenne |
| Ranch routine and his old man’s schemes |
| This ain’t where his heart is but you know his daddy understands |
| Noonday comes father and son sit down and eat their dinner |
| Beneath that big Wyoming sky |
| His daddy knows he’s gotta let him go the boy can’t be a winner |
| If he don’t spread his wings and fly |
| And in his mind he’s riding bulls down in Las Vegas |
| Soon he’ll be on a train that leads to Santa Fe |
| Sweet voice of freedom echoes down the ages calls another cowboy on his way |
| Fencin’s done and the morning sun finds him packed and ready |
| Momma kissed his cheek and then she went inside |
| His old man well he shook his hand said son you ride 'em pretty |
| Didn’t see the tears that his momma cried |
| And in his mind he’s riding… |
