Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?

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 dandelion Sun scorching
Like a glass of cold lemonade?

I will do laundry
If you pay all the bills
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 somethin' 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
Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie son?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't, but you don't even notice me
Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes

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?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

Yippee aw, yippee yea
Yippee aw, yippee yea
Yippee aw, yippee yea
