Still a Young Cowboy cover art
From the upcoming single Still a Young Cowboy

My cowboy hat has faded
My spurs have turned to rust
The saddle for my old gray mare
Is covered now in dust
But you’re still here beside me
And that’s enough for me
To feel like a young cowboy
Young and wild and free

Whoopee ti yi yo
Oh, my lovely lady
I gave up the saddle for our happy home
But whoopee ti yi yo
My darling, my baby
I’m still a young cowboy when we are alone

When we met in that barroom
So many years ago
You thought I was quite the stud
And I thought you stole the show
I guess we tamed each other
If only for the world
‘Cause I’m still your wild-eyed rustler
And you’re my painted girl

Whoopee ti yi yo
Oh, my lovely lady
I gave up the saddle for our happy home
But whoopee ti yi yo
My darling, my baby
I’m still a young cowboy when we are alone

Funny how the years
Bring wrinkles, lines, and gray
But as long as you’re beside me
Our youth is here to stay

Whoopee ti yi yo
Oh, my lovely lady
I gave up the saddle for our happy home
But whoopee ti yi yo
My darling, my baby
I’m still a young cowboy when we are alone
I’m still a young cowboy when we are at home
