Cowboy Nation Songtext
von Chris Wall

It′s a rough and rowdy road we travel
Watching blacktop turn to gravel
Trying to figure out how far a man can ride a dream
It's the same old envelope we′re pushing
Working without nets or cushion
To get in to see what it is the old man means

You gotta heal faster than this old world can hurt you
Sometimes you fly sometimes you crash and burn
I think you'll be amazed how much you've learned
Too late to find you just blew by the point of no return


Ancient aches and aging bones
Sad voices on pay telephones
Home is nothing more to me than a place to call collect
Speeding past those signs of warning
Watching midnight turn to morning
I′m a cowboy, what did you expect?

You gotta heal faster than those bastards can hurt you...

Shakespeare says our doubts are traitors
I′ll think about this whole thing later
There's an answer waiting for me somewhere down the road
When I took my stand in this cowboy nation
I signed on for the whole duration
I ain′t changing, you'll drag me out when I go

You gotta heal faster than this old world can hurt you...
