LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY

EVERY GIRL WAITED FOR SATURDAY NIGHT

WHEN THEY COULD SEE AND BE

WITH THEIR FAVORITE COWPOKE

SUGAR FOOT WAS MIGHTY SWEET

MAVERICK WAS HARD TO BEAT

WHETHER IT WAS BRETT OR BART

THEY BOTH HAD WON MY HEART

PALADIN WAS WAY TOO COOL

THE LONE RANGER WAS NO FOOL

AND ONE DAY I WOULD SURELY BE

A DALE EVANS ON TEEVEE

ANNIE OAKLEY DIDN’T MESS AROUND

MISS KITTY ALWAYS FOUND

THE CLUES TO SOLVE SHERIFF DILLONS CASES

THOUGH CHESTER NEVER HELD THE ACES.

BEST OF ALL WERE ROY AND DALE

THEY WOULD NEVER FAIL

TO CATCH THE CROOK

AND SEND HIM TO JAIL

WE ALL BECAME THE COWPOKES THEN

OUR MINDS TREMENDOUS FORCES

GALLOPING ON OUR TRICYCLE HORSES

BUILDING FORTS TO HIDE AND SEEK

HOPING THAT THEY DIDN’T PEEK

HUNTING DEER AND RATTLERS

TO COOK FOR DINNER ON THE FIRE

AVOIDING YOUNGER TATTLERS

"NO MATCHES MA, SHE’S A LIAR.."

CRAWLING THROUGH FIELDS IN THE SUN

SO THEY DIDN’T CATCH YOU ON THE RUN

AAH IT WAS SO LONG AGO

WHEN GAMES WERE MADE INSIDE YOUR HEAD

AND YOU PLAYED AND DREAMED THE COWGIRL LIFE

EVEN AFTER YOU WENT TO BED.
