- I Want
-
- to be cold in my jeans jacket
- and sit close to a smoky fire
-
- I want to heft my saddle on a
pony
- and keep working till I retire
-
- I want to hear the creak of
leather
- as I swing aboard the deck.
-
- I want to ride so fast I'll get
somewhere
- before the bank can bounce my
check
-
- I want to sleep beneath the
stars
- and send my brother a telegram
-
- I want to throw a rope and make a
catch
- and film it with a video cam
-
- I want to pan for gold and strike it
rich
- and give it all to my fellow
man
-
- I want to breathe fresh air and
saddle up
- just because I can
-
- I want to shine my boots and go to
town
- and sing a western song to my
wife
-
- Then go on television and say
- "Hooray for the cowboy life!"
