| We were just kids growing up in West Texas
|
| Remember the hell we raised
|
| We chased the girls we never could catch them
|
| Those were are glory days
|
| You called me cowboy
|
| Cause I drove a pickup and sang those old cheatin' songs
|
| Buy a bottle of Boone’s Farm
|
| Wind up all messed up
|
| Where have those years all gone
|
| Hey little brother this is old cowboy
|
| Best keep your radio on
|
| Cause I might get lucky, sing in the Opry
|
| And I’ll dedicate you this song
|
| I hit the highway and never looked back
|
| You stayed here in our old hometown
|
| You married a sweet girl down around Austin
|
| Had nine kids whose eyes are all brown
|
| I hit every barroom from Bakersfield to Boston
|
| Seeking whiskey, fortune, and fame
|
| Countin' these white lines sure gets lonely
|
| Someday they’ll all know my name
|
| Repeat Chorus
|
| The years come and go
|
| I’ve sure realized
|
| There ain’t nothin like your best friend
|
| If there’s one thing I know
|
| 'Til the day that I die
|
| You’ve got me back brother Ben
|
| Hey little brother this is old cowboy
|
| You’ve got your radio on
|
| Tonight I got lucky, I’m singin' on the Opry
|
| I dedicate you this song
|
| Yeah tonight I got lucky
|
| I’m singin' on the Grand Ole Opry
|
| I dedicate you this song |
