City Boy's Dream

Adam Gregory

I dreamt last night I was far away

Where coyotes howl and cotton woods sway

Casting shadows in firelight

A cowboy moon burns so bright



And I don't care if it's rain or shine

And all my troubles will be miles behind

Untie the reins and change my course

And close my eyes and saddle my horse



Out in the open where the buffalo roam

That's where I'll make my home

Don't need no highway, don't need no roof

Cactus cowboys know the truth



I've been living in a Roy Roger's song

Something 'bout where my heart belongs

My horse and I will never give in

We'll ride away in a western wind



I dreamt last night I was far away

Where coyotes howl and the cotton woods sway
