Had a horse when I was young
And I was tryin' to put his saddle on
When I felt a warm summer breeze from the river bed
So I went fishing for some rainbow trout
When in the distance I heard mama shout
Hurry up son, dinner's going cold
Working in the city
The Country's still my home
Life just ain't the same, without
Cowboys and Cadillacs
Blue jeans and black hats
It don't matter how high the buildings rise
The city always lacks
Old campfire melodies
My daddy used to sing to me
Though it's got fancy bars with models and stars
But the memories take me back
Cowboys and Cadillacs
Now I'm up at 6 am
Cause there's bills to pay and times no friend
So I grab a cup of coffee on my way out the door
Fighting traffic every inch of the way
I crank the radio and try to escape
And they play and old song that brings a little smile
Working in the city
The Country's still my home
Life just ain't the same, without
Cowboys and Cadillacs
Blue jeans and black hats
It don't matter how high the buildings rise
The city always lacks
Old campfire melodies
My daddy used to sing to me
Though it's got fancy bars with models and stars
But the memories take me back
Cowboys and Cadillacs
These old worn boots are still a part of me
You can take me out around the world
But the country's where my heart will be
Cowboys and Cadillacs
Blue jeans and black hats
It don't matter how high the buildings rise
The city always lacks
Old campfire melodies
My daddy used to sing to me
And though it's got fancy bars with models and stars
The memories take me back to
Cowboys and Cadillacs
Oh yeah
Cowboys and Cadillacs
Cowboys and Cadillacs
