[00:00.56]	Bronco Bill's Lament
[00:01.24]	I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be,
[00:05.98]	But a cowboy's life was the only life for me.
[00:11.79]	It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free,
[00:16.28]	But strong men often fail
[00:20.46]	Where shrewd men can prevail,
[00:23.83]	I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say,
[00:29.94]	But oh god how I worked my youth away.
[00:37.06]	Well you may not recognize my face, I used to be a star,
[00:43.24]	A cowboy hero known both near and far.
[00:49.11]	I perched upon a silver mount and sang with my guitar,
[00:55.03]	But the studio of course,
[00:57.84]	owned my saddle and my horse,
[01:00.83]	But that six-gun on the wall belongs to me,
[01:07.08]	Oh god I can't live a memory.
[01:14.01]	You know I'd like to put my finger on that trigger once again,
[01:20.74]	And point that gun at all the prideful men.
[01:26.30]	All the voyeurs and the lawyers who can pull a fountain pen,
[01:30.85]	And put you where they choose,
[01:35.22]	With the language that they use,
[01:38.53]	And enslave you till you work your youth away,
[01:44.57]	Oh god how I worked my youth away.
[01:50.88]	Whoopee ty yioh
[01:53.19]	Whoopee ty yi ay,
[01:56.19]	One man's work is another man's play
[02:00.86]	Oh God how I worked my youth away.
[02:07.17]	You see I always liked the notion of a cowboy fighting crime,
[02:14.72]	This photograph was taken in my prime,
[02:20.27]	I could beat those desperados but there's no sense fightin' time,
[02:25.40]	But the singin' was a ball
[02:29.27]	'Cause I'm not musical at all,
[02:31.08]	I moved my lips to someone else's voice.
[02:36.01]
[02:50.17]	I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be,
[02:56.29]	But a cowboy's life was the only life for me.
[03:02.28]	It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free,
[03:08.08]	But strong men often fail
[03:11.20]	Where shrewd men can prevail,
[03:14.69]	I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say,
[03:21.00]	But oh god how I worked my youth away
