Somewhere in the world there's a cowboy smiling I'm sitting here trying to stop my crying Low down, taken for another ride A fast move, didn't leave a trace at all To follow, money's got a language of its own Whoa All his hopes have turned to lies Gone to where the spirit flies Running scared like hunted prey They came to take his soul away Somewhere in the world, there's a cowboy smiling I can feel I gotta keep on trying Somewhere in the world, there's a cowboy smiling Ah-ooh Buildings, growing where there once was grass Buildings, no reminder of the past memories Money's got a language of its own Whoa Working is his compromise Between the city and the open skies Free to move but is held by chains Those days are gone, but his pride remains Somewhere in the world, there's a cowboy smiling Clever men talking, while the love lies dying Somewhere in the world, there's a cowboy smiling Ah-ooh Cracking up, breaking up Back to the open skies Working up, sweating out Move up to higher ground Green grass, feels good Under my feet Mountain high, hard to climb No man reach the sky Somewhere in the world, there's a cowboy smiling What's he gonna do now the plans are backfiring? Somewhere in the world, there's a cowboy smiling Ah-ooh Somewhere in the world, there's a cowboy smiling Making me feel I gotta keep on trying Somewhere in the world, there's a cowboy smiling Ah-ooh
