A campfire, some coffee From a tin cup in my hand Sure warms the fingers when it's cold Aplayin' an old guitar A friend I understand Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul Asleepin' in the moonlight A blanket for my bed Leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind ... Wakin' up in the mornin' With an eagle overhead Makes me want to fly away before my time And I think God must be a cowboy at heart He made wide open spaces from the start ... He made grass and trees and mountains And a horse to be a friend And trails to lead old cowboys home a-gain Night life and big cities Is alright for awhile Sure makes you feel good when you're there ... But the country's so pretty It goes on and on for miles takes away my troubles and my cares ... And I think God must be a cowboy at heart He made wide open spaces from the start ... He made grass and trees and mountains And a horse to be a friend And trails to lead old cowboys home a-gain And trails to lead old cowboys home again.

My family tradition tends to make me into something that I'm not But I can't think of a better thing for me to be than me, and that's alright by me I don't want to spend my days and nights and years inside some office building No! Just give me the outdoors, a white horse and an old ten-gallon hat What's wrong with that? Not a thing - I just sing I wanna grow up to be a cowboy, just like Buffalo Bill I said it when I was a five-year-old and I guess I always will Cause the cowboy gets the bad guy, and the cowboy gets the girl Best of all he gets a Colt .45 with a handle made of pearl In my dreams I'm the Sheriff of Laredo, and a Texas Ranger too I'm the man who told Geronimo just where to go and what he had to do But the mornin' brings reality right back to me, and damn I'm late for work They can't take my dreams away I'm gonna grow up to be a cowboy, just like Buffalo Bill I said it when I was a five-year-old and I guess I always will Cause the cowboy gets the bad guy, and the cowboy gets the girl Best of all he gets a Colt .45 with a handle made of pearl Oh yeah, I'm gonna grow up to be a cowboy, just like Buffalo Bill I said it when I was a little boy and I guess I always will The cowboy gets the bad guy. The cowboy gets the girl Best of all he gets a Colt .45 with a handle made of pearl A handle made of pearl

Oh, father friend, will you punish me, punish me With a look of contempt, with a look of contempt I can recall Oh, I know you did right by me, right by me Wagging your hands when you found me With a bag of your things Please, please don't be a stranger here A stranger who takes from the world Who takes from the world You, you must be a Christmas tree, a Christmas tree You light up the room, oh, you light up the room Oh you light up the room So, suddenly you kiss me You tickled me in front of your mother Who looked away With her hands on her face Don't run away my friend You won't be back again You said you needed me But I know that you needed yourself to be cleaned of me Don't run away my friend You won't be back again You said you needed me But I know that you needed yourself to be cleaned of me Don't run away my friend You won't be back again You ran your hands through my hair in the snow Where the frost of it blows with the terrible ghost Don't run away my friend You won't be back again You said you needed me But I know...

You are under my power It is the power of love Eyes that hypnotize And all it takes is just once glance Just one look at him Puts me in a lover's trance Now listen, no rabbits in his hand No pigeons up his sleeve But you better believe (You better believe) When I prove he can do so much My baby must be a magician 'Cause he's sure got the magic touch Oh, my morale was low Then he appeared just like a genie His love has the power He's my private great Houdini No reading decks of cards No cords that disappear No special gear (No special gear) Like Alladin's lamp and such But my baby must be a magician 'Cause he's sure got the magic touch Whenever I'm feeling bad My baby simply kisses me And then Presto, Chango, Alakazam I'm alright again Oh, yes I am Yes, I am alright No mystic crystal ball No long black flowing cape But I can't escape (I can't escape) From his tender loving touch Oh, my baby must be a magician 'Cause he's sure got the magic touch Say, my baby must be a magician 'Cause he's sure got the magic touch

I won't be blue anymore I'll go out on the town And I'll take all my friends Every honky tonk around And they'll help me forget you And the way it used to be Then I won't be blue anymore The only friends I've got now Since you've been gone Two arms that used to hold you And the heart that surely broke And the mind that sometimes wonders 'bout my sanity So they made me make this promise to me I won't be blue anymore I'll go out on the town And I'll take all my friends Every honky tonk around And they'll help me forget you And the way it used to be Then I won't be blue anymore My friends are always with me Even when I'm alone They watch over and protect me 'Cause they know how far I've gone They're the only ones that care now And they knew that they could help So they made me make this promise to myself I won't be blue anymore I'll go out on the town And I'll take all my friends Every honky tonk around And they'll help me forget you And the way it used to be Then I won't be blue anymore No, I won't be blue anymore

I've often wondered what would I do If I found you alone like this? Would I remember What I've got at home? Or forget it all with your kiss? 'Cause when you left me I was hurtin' so She picked me up off the ground And I do love her, I want you to know That I never want to let her down But you still move me Though I'd never let her know There's a place inside of me that just won't let you go And every time I hold her in my arms Or look into her eyes I wonder this time, does it show? 'Cause you still move me I guess I'd better leave now Before it's too late Before these feelings go too far But I had to see you Just one more time 'Cause it's been tearing me apart 'Cause you still move me And I wonder, how much longer can this go on? The feeling's wrong, I know it's wrong And I don't know which way to turn Here with you, or home with her? 'Cause you still move me Though I'd never let her know There's a place inside of me that just won't let you go And every time I hold her in my arms Or look into her eyes I wonder this time, does it show But you still move me You still move me God, you move me

She's a small town girl with no room to grow And he's a reckless boy with no where to go They're like birds in a cage with no place to fly So he parks the car and she holds him tight Chorus And they rage on some how searching for the answers In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone They rage on On the same dark night two more people meet In a rented room on a cross town street And she's lost her youth and he's lost his dreams But for a while they feel like they used to feel Chorus And they rage on Against the lives that this world gave them Hoping something's there to save them They rage on rage on And they rage on Against the lives that this world gave them Hoping something's there to save them They rage on rage on And somewhere between right and wrong In the grey between dusk and dawn They tell themselves they're not alone Cause they rage on Chorus And they rage on some how searching for the answers In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone They rage on They rage on Against the lives that this life gave them Hoping something's there to save them They rage on they rage on
