Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? (Artist's 20th Anniversay Edition) Songtext
von Paula Cole

Oh, you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
Why don′t we go sit down in the shade?
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching
Like a glass of cold lemonade
I will do the laundry, if you pay all the bills

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

Why don't you stay the evening?
Kick back and watch the TV
And I′ll fix a little something to eat
Oh, I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee, my sweet?

I will raise the children if you pay all the bills


Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't, but you don't even notice me
(Say goodbye)
(Say goodbye)
(Say goodbye)

We finally sell the Chevy
We had a new baby
And you took the job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week

You go wash the dishes while I go have a beer

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?


Where is my Marlboro man?
Where is his shiny gun?
Where is my lonely ranger?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

Yippee, ya, yippee ya
Yippee, ya, yippee ya
Yippee, ya, yippee ya
Yippee, ya, yippee ya
Yippee, ya, yippee ya
Yippee, ya, yippee ya
Yippee, ya, yippee, yeah, yeah
