lyrics

The old cowpoke he rides his horse
Next to the roaring highway
No need for a blinker at least wears a reflector
He uses his hands to point the way
Old cowpoke you ride so slow
You’ll kill yourself one day

The old cowpoke he parks his horse
Out front of the laundry mat
He hops of his steed walks in for his clothes
But he’s busted the washer with his chaps
This old cowpoke he’s getting slow
He’s headed home to take a nap

He wakes to the news on his boxy TV set
With the signal coming in from time to time
It’s been 50 years this very day
One small step for a man one giant leap for mankind
The words are too big he falls back to sleep
This old cowpoke is lagging behind
