You can ride a hundred miles and not see one face
And you can drink from the rivers and the streams
And you can sleep under the stars
No matter where you are-
In a cowboy's dreams

You can turn the radio on in your truck
And on a station hear chris ledoux sing
And every road that you drive down
Leads you further from a town
In a cowboy's dreams

And everybody's got a horse and a good rope
And everybody's wearing boots, spurs and jeans
And men tip their hats with pride
When a lady passes by
Oh, I wish love was what it seems
In a cowboy's dreams

You can take a man's handshake as his solemn vow
And when he says, I do, that's just what he means
The only time that he might cry
Is when his old cow-pup dies
In a cowboy's dreams

And everybody's got a horse and a good rope
And everybody's wearing boots, spurs and jeans
And men tip their hats with pride- when a lady passes by
Oh, I wish love was what it seems
In a cowboy's dreams

You can ride a hundred miles
And not see one fence
