David Allan Coe - Young Dallas Cowboy lyrics

Well, I've hiked through the sage brush, I ran up some rail I slept on the bench in a few county jails And they laugh as they knocked all the wind from my sail When I was a young Dallas Cowboy I've tried hard to tackle the problems at hand I've kicked a few habits, and I've marched to the band I tried hard to follow the lady of the land When I was a young Dallas Cowboy I've made a few pa**es that weren't incomplete I stumbled through yards on my way to the street Running from beds where I did more than sleep When I was a young Dallas Cowboy [Talk] Well, he tackled the bottle and he fumbled the ball And he'd touchdown in alleys along where he'd fall Just wait for his son to make up for it all When I was a young Dallas Cowboy When I was a baby, he broke up the team Divorcing my Mama to live with a dream He had back in college when he was still green And I was a young Dallas Cowboy Now the footballs I held did not fit in my hand Got me a guitar and I've got me a band So don't put me down when I'm taking my stand Be proud of this young Dallas Cowboy Yeah I'm proud I'm a young Dallas Cowboy Be proud of those young Dallas Cowboys
