Chris Ledoux - Working Cowboy Blues lyrics

Discouraged is the word these days at homes acros the range The livestock markets down and it don't look like it's gonna change Nobody's found a cure for what we are goin' through But I'll tell you boys just what I'm gonna do Well I'm gonna saddle up old paint right after shipping time Ride out on the mountain among the aspens and the pines Take along my fishing pole and leave my cares behind And find myself a little piece of mind I'm gonna ride up on the mountain live like a mountain man Lay my body on the ground eat from a fryin' pan I know it's not the answer but I'm gonna try to lose These dog gone low down workin' cowboy blues Well next year it might get better aw thats what they always say But I've seen a string of next years come and Lord they're all the same But as long as there's a mountain, someplace to get away Well this old cowboy just might not go insane I'm gonna ride up on the mountain... These dog gone low down lonesome workin' cowboy blues
