I can remember when I was a boy
Chasin' them outlaws with Hoppe and Roy.
I sure miss the old days
And my home on the range.
Son, ain't it somethin'
How much things have changed.
Chorus:
No, you can't be a cowboy forever.
Wearin' six guns and buck skins and jeans.
No, you can't be a cowboy forever.
And you can't spend your life ropin' dreams.
Things started movin' too fast for the West.
Son, I had to do, what a daddy does best.
I had my six guns and old cowboy boots.
Now you're into lasers and Darth Vader suits.
Chorus
No, you can't spend your life ropin' dreams.
