Me and some friends, whoa |
|
We been buddies since Boca Raton |
|
Signed on a ship |
|
To take a trip to old Taiwan |
|
Got as far as Siam |
|
Took it on the lam |
|
Arrived in Hong Kong with all our money gone |
|
We joined up with a gang when |
|
We found we couldn't go on |
|
We still remain here |
|
Though we don't belong |
|
That's what they call us |
|
Cowboys in Hong Kong |
|
The stakes were high tonight |
|
We're going to break on through |
|
We're hiding in the tall grass |
|
Waiting for our signal to move |
|
Our friends are inside |
|
They were beaten they were tied |
|
We've got to get them out |
|
Before they blow our cover wide |
|
Some sad GI Joe's |
|
Mind wanders home |
|
Thinks about a girl left behind |
|
We're freedom fighters |
|
And so we say |
|
They like to tell us |
|
That anyway |
|
We still remain here |
|
Though we don't belong |
|
That's why they call us |
|
Cowboys in Hong Kong |
|
There's a girl that he sees |
|
When he's feeling lonely |
|
She'll laugh and say, 'Okay Joe' |
|
When they hold real tight |
|
In the dead of the night |
|
He'll pretend she's from Ohio |
|
Oh... I'm a cowboy in Hong Kong |
|
We're freedom fighters |
|
And so we say |
|
They like to tell us |
|
That anyway |
|
We still remain here |
|
Though we don't belong |
|
That's why they call us |
|
Cowboys in Hong Kong |
