Washington County Enterprise-Leader
Cowboy Come Home
worn out straw hat touch of grey in the whiskers on his chin
heart as big as Texas
and blue eyes that melt
oasis in the desert
get along little dogie
when ya gonna come
home, cowboy?
how far ya gonna roam, cowboy?
where will the dusty trail end?
will you ever settle down with me?
I have waited patiently, cowboy
from sunup to sundown, cowboy
tending your herd and keeping your fire burning, when ya gonna come home, cowboy?
how many broncs must you break?
how much fence must you ride?
how many hearts must you break?
how many must you take for a ride?
when ya gonna come home, cowboy?
how far ya gonna roam, cowboy?
where will the dusty trail end?
will you ever settle down with me?
how far ya gonna roam, cowboy?
where will the dusty trail end?
will you ever settle down with me?
I have waited patiently, cowboy
from sunup to sundown, cowboy
tending your herd and keeping your fire burning when ya gonna come home, cowboy?

In memory of our dads and for our moms, who loved these ranching cowboys.
