Cast a long shadow

Well, I woke up in the mornin' with a Stetson on my head
(Ride, ride 'em down)
Had a saddle for my pillow and a prairie for my bed
(Ride, ride 'em)

I am a cowboy, I ride all night long
And I sleep under the stars above

Well, I'm standin' at the station with a saddle in my hand
(Ride, ride 'em down)
Got a bullwhip for my woman and a bullet for the man
(Ride, ride 'em)

I am a cowboy, I ride all night long
And I dream under the stars above

Well, I'm riding from the jailhouse to a grave that's dug for three
(Ride, ride 'em down)
There's a preacher reading gospel underneath that hangin' tree
(Ride, ride 'em)

I am a cowboy, I ride all night long
And I swing under the stars above
