But his ol' dad, he just sat up there and rode him like there was nothin to it. From right then, the boy gained a whole new respect for the man. And from that day on, he knew that when he grew up, he wanted to be a cowboy. Verse 1 Seventeen, a cowboys dreams, aint off fixin fences, once he seen him ride in ol cheyenne. Ranch routines and his old mans schemes, but this aint where his heart is. But ya know his daddy understands, Verse 2 When new a day comes, father and son sit down to eat their dinner, beneath that big wyoming sky. His daddy knows hes gotta let him go, his boy cant be a winner if he dont spread his wings and fly Chorus And in his mind hes ridin bulls down in las vegas, Soon hell be on a train that leads to santa fe. Sewwt voice of freedom echoes down the ages, and calls another cowboy on his way Verse 3 Well the Fencings done, in the mornin sun, finds him packed an ready. Momma kissed his cheek then she went inside. His old man well he shook his hand, said son you ride em pretty,Didnt see the tears that his momma cried. Chorus www.TAB6.com
