Kameron Marlowe We Were Cowboys Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Daddy watched John Wayne on a corduroy couch
I didn't know Texas from a hole in the ground
But it roped me in, that's where it all began
A stick was a rifle, a bullet was a rock
The good guys won and the bad guys lost
We climbed them trees, we were wild and free
Me and my buddies ran that town

[Chorus]
We were cowboys
Runnin' like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
We were cowboys
Didn't know nothin' but we knew everything
We never made it eight, nevеr won a buckle
But man, we werе somethin'
[Verse 2]
When I turned sixteen my saddle was the front seat of that 1993 Silverado
On a dirt road
I was Eastwood cool with a Marlboro Red
Aztec blanket in an eight food bed
Earnin' braggin' rights, every Saturday night
Them small town girls couldn't help but fall for us [Chorus]
We were cowboys
Runnin' like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
We were cowboys
Didn't know nothin' but we knew everything
We never made it eight, never won a buckle
But man, we were somethin', yeah
We were cowboys

[Bridge]
We were cowboys
Jumpin' barbed wire fences and ropin' the wind
We were cowboys
No, ain't a thing changed since we were kids

[Chorus]
We were cowboys
Runnin' like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
We were cowboys
Didn't know nothin' but we knew everything
We never made it eight, never won a buckle
But man, we were somethin'
Wouldn't change nothing
Couldn't tell us nothing 'cause man, we were something
Damn, we were something
[Outro]
Mm, we were cowboys
We were cowboys
