The Games that Cowboy’s play There’s an old dusty saddle In the corner of the barn He used to ride the rodeo Before he bought his farm Now every once in a while He’ll stare off in a daze And dream about The games that Cowboys play It was back in 57’ When it all began He won the around cowboy That summer in Cheyenne You know he still wears that buckle To this very day It takes him back To the games that Cowboys play He ain’t been on a horse in years Except for in his mind It seems like more and more these days He’s riding all the time He can’t begin to tell you what happened yesterday But he still remembers the games that cowboys play They tell me he’s forgotten Exactly where he lives And lately he don’t recognize His wife or his kids He spends a lot of time just dreamin’ He‘ll sit back and drift away Back to the games that cowboys play He ain’t been on a horse in years Except for in his mind It seems like more and more these days He’s riding all the time He can’t begin to tell you what happened yesterday But he still remembers the games that cowboys play Oh he still remembered the games that cowboys play There’s an old dusty saddle in the corner of his barn Written by Gary Y Thomas©2004
