They got a damned ole four lane highway
Where I used to ride ole paint
Where them open spaces used to be
Now you know they ain't
They built a Holiday Inn up around the bend
Where my cattle used to graze
And it's hard to be a cowboy these days
They got some ole silly law that says
I can't tote my gun
Hell, I ain't gonna shoot nobody
I just wear it around for fun
I guess I'm too old and ornery
To even change my ways
And it's hard to be a cowboy these days
They got girls in New York City
That would cost you a whole week's pay
But them cowgirls in my younger days
Just gave their love away
They got shoppin' malls and a lot of balls
Askin' more for fuel
My horse don't run on gasoline
And I ain't no crazy fool
Someday them wells will all run dry
But 'til then I'm just amazed
And it's hard to be a cowboy these days
Where I used to ride ole paint
Where them open spaces used to be
Now you know they ain't
They built a Holiday Inn up around the bend
Where my cattle used to graze
