We Are The Cowboys

By Willie Nelson

Lyrics

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
