The buckaroos

I´ve been riding all night just to get hereDon´t you be throwing us out so soonAcross the whole damn South with cotton-mouthNow we got some drinking to doWe´ve been stuck on the range for 45 daysAnd that´s a long long timeWe ain´t leaving this place ´til there´s a smile on our faceAnd the whole room is a friend of mine.So won´t you line ´em all up and slide ´em all downAnd let´s hear the jukebox rollWe´ve been living on bacon and beansPlaying the jacks and the queensBut we still got some money to blowAnd the times ain´t wild enoughWe dig our spurs in the make them jumpWe´re riding shotgun with the devilWe´re the buckaroos.My name is Gideon TannerI´ve been a man of good mannersI won´t dance ´til the ladies ask meI simply tip my hat, I smile and sit backAnd then I wait for that friendly stampedeI started dancing so tight that this girl turned whiteI thought she must be passing awayI said: now don´t let me down,´cos when I hit this townI´ve got to live my whole life in a day.
