E                              A            E
Blue eyes and freckles neath a white cowboy hat
                                            B7
His two bestest friends are his dog and his cat
     A                                  E
He's one of the good guys it's plain to see
A            E             B7           E
Shore enough cowboy though he's only three

[Verse]
E                               A                 E
There's a cute little filly she lives right next door
                                          B7
She'd like to brand him but he's no green horn
       A                                E
She'll offer him candy but he knows her game
A          E              B7                  E
He'll take what she gives him then be on his way

[Chorus]
A             E            A            E
Blue eyes and freckles and holes in his jeans
A          E                     B7
Out in the back yard ridin' his dreams
     A          E
He's our little cowboy until the day our
A            E            B7           E
Fences can't hold him and he'll ride away

[Verse]
E                    A            E
Saturday morning he's up before dawn
                                   B7
Grabs his cap pistol and pulls his hat on
      A                                  E
Today the Lone Ranger and him make their ride
A            E           B7              E
And those outlaws better find some place to hide

[Verse]
E                            A               E
With tears in his eyes and a scratch on his chin
                                      B7
His onery old cyuse done throwed him again
    A                                       E
But a kiss and a cookie will soon ease the pain
A            E         B7               E
He'll mount up and be back ridin' the range

[Chorus]
A             E            A            E
Blue eyes and freckles and holes in his jeans
A          E                     B7
Out in the back yard ridin' his dreams
     A          E
He's our little cowboy until the day our
A            E            B7           E
Fences can't hold him and he'll ride away

[Verse]
E                      A               E
Mama just look how our little boy's grown
                                        B7
He'll soon be a man with a mind all his own
    A                                   E
And I know the hardest thing we'll ever do
A                E           B7              E
Is take down the fences and just turn him loose

[Chorus]
A             E            A           E
Blue eyes and freckles and faded blue jeans
A           E                           B7
He's grown up and ready to follow his dreams
      A           E
He was our little cowboy just yesterday
A              E                  B7          E
Now the fences can't hold him and he'll ride away
