Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I take off time to time With those crazy friends of mine Head out on steel horses With wheels and we ride We burn up that road to old Mexico Blend in with the desert Just we amigos And we roll Cowboys like us sure do have fun Racin' the wind, chasin' the sun Take the long way around back to square one Today we're just outlaws out on the run There'll be no regrets, no worries and such For cowboys like us We talk about livin', babies, and women All that we've lost and all we've been givin' We sing about true love, lie about things we ain't done Drink one more cold one, come mornin' get up And we roll [Chorus: x2] Cowboys like us
