So You Think You're a Cowboy

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

So you think you're a cowboy but you're only a kid
With a mind to do everything wrong
And it starts to get smoother when the circle begins
But by the time that you get there it's gone

So you think you're a winner but you're losing again
The cards are all lucky but then
And the hand that you're holding means nothing at all
Just knowing is all that is there
So you think you're a cowboy...

So your life is a fun the best that you can tomorrow is not right or wrong
And don't wait for tomorrow to bring you your dreams
'Cause by the time that they get there they're gone
So you think you're a cowboy...
Yeah but by the time that you get there it's gone
