Cowboy Song Lyrics by Max Zorn

Made in Vershire

2020

Here's a story about Johnny and Johnny he was poor
But he dreamed of becoming a cowboy
So he went bought a gun, practiced each day under the sun
But still could hardly even shoot a can
But Johnny had no fear, no he listened to his heart
And decided he was ready to start
So he sent a letter to the fastest shooter in the west
Said, sir won't you bring me your best
Well not but two weeks later he got a letter in the mail
Said, son I hope you know I come to kill
But I'll take you on your offer and better yet
I'll even offer you up a deal
Why if you manage to kill me, you can have my home
My riches and all that I own
Well Johnny told his Ma and she laughed up to the sky
Said these words to her only son
Listen to the wind blow, oh it howls to say
Hey
Watch that river flow as it runs away
Hey
Tell this land your name 'cause this is where your body's gonna stay
Hey
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty years from this day
Hey
Well Johnny couldn't wait, he set the time and set the place
Told The Best to practice his dying face
Best said, why son you're cocky and after you die
I'll make sure to tell my children when I speak of this day
Well they stood back to back, the two men began to pace
They turned and The Best quickly drew
But before The Best could fire, Johnny caught him by surprise
Cracked a little smile and said
Listen to the wind blow, oh it howls to say
Hey
Watch that river flow as it runs away
Hey
Tell this land your name 'cause this is where your body's gonna stay
Hey
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty years from this day
Hey
Well The Best he was confused, didn't know just what to do
And before he could even think to shoot
Johnny drew his gun and fired, hit The Best between his eyes
And watched The Best's fateful demise
And the blood began to pour, The Best fell down to the floor
Johnny walked up to his corpse and said [he said]
Thanks for the money, honey, I'll even pay for the funeral too
And on that day I will make sure to say
Listen to the wind blow, oh it howls to say
Hey
Watch that river flow as it runs away
Hey
Tell this land your name 'cause this is where your body's gonna stay
Hey
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty years from this day
Hey
