Saturday Mornings And The Western Show - The Cats

When I was ten in Oklahoma

I watched the cowboys on the screen

I would grin and eat my popcorn

While they kept the town clean

Laying their cards on the table

Feeding their horse in the stable

Where in the world did all those cowboys go?

In those days when I rode on my stick horse

East, west and then I rode north

Just keeping the law behind my home

In those days when I slept with my boots on

I thought that my whole world set on

Those Saturday mornings and the western show

When I grew up one inch at the time

And my ideas kinda changed

I was driving on the highway

Instead of on the ranch

I wanted to be a singer

And then I could be a swinger

Where in the world did all those cowboys go?

So now I sit with my piano

Singing almost through this song

I remember Roy and Gene

And it doesn’t seem that long

That we faught our fights together

Slappin' the old buckin' deather

Where in the world did all those cowboys go?
