Jenny's daddy was five years gone |
|
By the time that Jenny was 6 years old |
|
It was her and her mom and her parakeet Pete |
|
In a little blue house at the end of the street. |
|
Her friends ask her what her daddy did |
|
And you know how it is when you're just a kid |
|
She couldn't tell em' that she didn't know |
|
So Jenny just lied and told em'. |
|
He's a cowboy riding the range |
|
He's got a painted pony with a flowing mane |
|
And he's chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain |
|
And he don't go running away. |
|
When it gets tough |
|
He's made of that stuff |
|
That don't let you down, boy |
|
No, he's a cowboy, he's a cowboy. |
|
Ten years later after a pillow fight |
|
Well, Jenny and her friends got to talking 'bout life |
|
What they're gonna do when they graduate |
|
What kind of guy they're gonna marry one day. |
|
And all of her friends said the usual stuff |
|
You know, Doctors and lawyers and bankers and such |
|
But Jenny didn't even bat an eye |
|
When she started talking about her dream guy. |
|
He's a cowboy riding the range |
|
He's got a painted pony with a flowing mane |
|
And he's chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain |
|
And he don't go running away. |
|
When it gets tough |
|
He's made of that stuff |
|
That don't let you down, boy |
|
No, he's a cowboy, he's a cowboy. |
|
Jenny married a guy named Mike |
|
And they had a little boy and started a life |
|
Mike ran off 4 years ago |
|
And now her little boy is five years old. |
|
And Jenny looks out the window with a smile |
|
At the way life works when you give it a while |
|
Little man running 'round out back |
|
With a stick horse and a little red hat. |
|
He's a cowboy riding the range |
|
He's got a painted pony with a flowing mane |
|
And he's chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain |
|
And he don't go running away. |
|
When it gets tough |
|
He's made of that stuff |
|
That don't let you down, boy |
|
No, he's a cowboy. |
|
Yeah, he's a cowboy. |
|
Jenny, got her that cowboy... |
