Cowboy Star Lyrics - Singles - Ambrosia

Of man's progress I don't give a hoot 

And man's estrangements of nature's arrangements 

Has given cause for my heartbreak to boot 

The simple life, though filled with strife 

And struggle with the land 

Still remained its simple self 

And that I understand 

So city smog and dog eat dog 

For some may hold sublime 

Well as for me if I had my way 

I'd had lived some other time 

Praise the prairie 

And pass the cake 

I'd like to eat it too 

But being born now was my mistake 

I've passed the buckaroo 

I'd say 

You're right 

No chance, why fight? 

Why be a cowboy star? 

(But) hump back Brahmas 

Lovely cow mamas 

Saw dust floor saloons 

Dance hall queens romanced in my dreams 

So why pop my balloon? 

No chance 

Why fight? 

Still in my own right 

I'd be a cowboy star 

Dreams of my life 

Are so carried away 

If just in my dreams 

I could be for one day 

Just for one day 

Lost in my dreams 

I'll be riding away 

Like a cowboy star 

Stage set: sundown 

In my last showdown I'll be
