Текст песни Cowboys and Sailors - Roger Creager

There's a long line of freedom passed down in my name
Like rum and rye whiskey, it runs through my veins
The wayfaring souls of the sage and sea
Cowboys, sailors and me
No jail, no woman can hold me for long
I'll wake in the morning and I'll be gone
Some things in this world are meant to be free
Like cowboys, sailors and me
Yeah, but I ran off with the circus chasing my insanity
And there's ports and harbors and oceans that I've never seen
But I'm out here doing what I love
So tonight when you're down on your knees
Would you say a prayer for cowboys and sailors
And sad guitar players like me
This path that I've chosen never seems to end
And I know this highway like the back of my hand
So I trade my living for these songs that I sing
About cowboys, sailors and me
Yeah, but I ran off with the circus free as a lone tumbleweed
And there's places and wide open spaces I've never seen
But I'm out here doing what I love
So tonight when you're down on your knees
Would you say a prayer for cowboys and sailors
And sad guitar players like me
I make my living singing songs about women
Cowboys and sailors and me
