Lyrics Old Cowhand (Live Version) - Asleep at the Wheel

We′re gonna do this song about the wild west
And here is girl who knows so much about it
That old cowhand from the Rio Grande
That canary from the prairie
Take it away, Elizabeth McQueen
It's a true story of my life

I am an old cowhand
From the Rio Grande
But my legs ain′t bowed
And my cheeks ain't tan

I am a cowgirl who's never seen a cow
Never roped a steer ′cause I don′t know how
And I sure ain't fixin′ to start it now

Yippie yi yo kaya
Yippie yi yo kaya

I am an old cowhand
And I'm from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand

I am a riding fool who is up to date
And I know every trail in the Lone Star State
Because I ride the range in my Ford V-8

Yippie yi yo kaya
Yippie yi yo kaya

Oh, Jason Roberts knows what I′m talking about

Oh, Eddy Rivers!

I am an old cowhand
Not I'm from the Rio Grande
And I come to town (tell ′em more) just to hear the band
Well, I know all the songs that the cowboys know
About the big corral where the doggies go
Because I heard them all on the radio

Yippie yi yo kaya
Yippie yi yo kaya
One more time boys
Yippie yi yo kaya

Thank you, and heeho!
