[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
