Cowboys and Indians - Bob Bentley |
LyricsCOWBOYS & INDIANS© 2013 Lyrics & Music by Bob Bentley Verse One: Growing up as a young boy his life could be tough But just being a cowboy was always enough He carried a sixgun, and he never felt strange An imaginary horse on a make believe range Chorus: Hey Mr Cowboy, so quick on the draw The finest gunslinger your street ever saw Amigos around you, some young as eight The Cowboys and Indians of the Springfield Estate Verse Two: Each Saturday morning he breathed every scene As he sat in the movies eyes glued to the screen He lived every moment, in the flickering light And he hoped he would dream of his heroes at night Bridge: High Noons and bar rooms and men hard as nails Wagon trains rolling down old dusty trails Tumbleweed blown through the streets of some town Shane riding out with the sun going down Verse Three: Though the years have gone by, as he sits in the shade He recalls very clearly the games that they played They rode through the school yards, they rode through the park Through the badlands and the prairies, until it grew dark Chorus: So Mr Cowboy, you can hang up your gun Relax on the front porch your work is all done The frontier is safe now, your legend is great Amongst the Cowboys and Indians of the Springfield Estate Bob Bentley - Songwriter and Composer Email: bob@bobbentleymusic.com Website: www.bobbentleymusic.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BobBentleyMusic YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MegaBoBBytube Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/bob-bentley Reverbnation: https://www.reverbnation.com/bobbentley4 Member: Guild Of International Songwriters and Composers |
| Short Song Description: Reflections of childhood. |
| Long Song Description: Reflections of a boyhood spent fascinated by Western Films and Cowboys and Indians. |
| Story Behind the Song: As a youngster I was completely fascinated by western films and what I imagined was the cowboy lifestyle. This song is autobiographical of my time growing up in Dublin, where I even saw Roy Rogers and Trigger in a Dublin Theatre! This version is shortened by about a minute and is still longer than is ideal. |
