Artist | Bobby Goldsboro |
Album | Honey - The Best of Bobby Goldsboro |
[00:08.83] | Dream on, little Broomstick Cowboy, |
[00:13.42] | Of rocket ships and Mars; |
[00:16.69] | Of sunny days, and Willie Mays, |
[00:20.86] | And chocolate candy bars. |
[00:26.08] | Dream on, little Broomstick Cowboy, |
[00:31.04] | Dream while you can; |
[00:33.65] | Of big green frogs, and puppy dogs, |
[00:37.89] | And castles in the sand. |
[00:42.99] | For, all too soon you'll awaken; |
[00:46.80] | Your toys will all be gone. |
[00:50.44] | Your broomstick horse will ride away, |
[00:54.38] | To find another home. |
[00:59.44] | And you'll have grown into a man, |
[01:03.77] | With cowboys of your own. |
[01:07.30] | And then you'll have to go to war, |
[01:11.39] | To try and save your home. |
[01:16.10] | And then you'll have to learn to hate; |
[01:20.73] | You'll have to learn to kill. |
[01:24.22] | It's always been that way, my son; |
[01:28.25] | I guess it always will. |
[01:33.19] | No broomstick gun they'll hand you; |
[01:37.38] | No longer you'll pretend. |
[01:40.87] | You'll call some man your enemy; |
[01:44.85] | You used to call him 'friend’. |
[01:50.11] | And when the rockets thunder, |
[01:53.99] | You'll hear your brothers cry. |
[01:57.42] | And through it all you'll wonder |
[02:01.45] | Just why they had to die. |
[02:10.13] | So dream on, little Broomstick Cowboy, |
[02:15.63] | Dream while you can; |
[02:18.25] | For soon, you'll be a dreadful thing: |
[02:22.02] | My son, you'll be a man. |
[00:08.83] | Dream on, little Broomstick Cowboy, |
[00:13.42] | Of rocket ships and Mars |
[00:16.69] | Of sunny days, and Willie Mays, |
[00:20.86] | And chocolate candy bars. |
[00:26.08] | Dream on, little Broomstick Cowboy, |

[00:33.65] | Of big green frogs, and puppy dogs, |
[00:37.89] | And castles in the sand. |
