Where Have All the Cowboys Gone
Paula ColeOh you get me in your 56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the
Take on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold
I will do
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
Kick and watch the TV
And I'll a little something to eat
Oh I know your
from working on the
How do you take your my sweet
I will 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 tonight
But you don't,
but you don't even me
Say goodbyes
Say goodbyes
Say goodbyes
We finally the Chevy
When we had another
And you the job in Tennessee
You made friends at the
And you them at the bar
Almost every day of the week
I will wash the while you go have a beer
Where is my Marlboro man
Where is his gun
Where is my ranger
Where have all the cowboys gone
Yippee yo, yippee yeah
Paula Cole plays the part of a lonely woman pining for her "John Wayne" , a beer-drinking kind of guy who will keep her happily barefoot and pregnant while he works on his tractor and spends the day at the bar
She's happy to be his housewife while he provides for the family, but after a while lethargy sets in and her cowboy is more of a bum, hanging out at the bar while she takes care of the household.
