Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy

Why don't we go sit down in the shade?

Take shelter on my front porch

The dandy lion sun scorching,

Like a glass of cold lemonade?

I will do laundry if you pay all the bills.



Where is my John Wayne?

Where is my prairie son?

Where is my happy ending?

Where have all the Cowboys gone?



Why don't you stay the evening

Kick back and watch the TV

And I'll fix a little somethin' to eat?

Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor

How do you take your coffee my sweet?

I will raise the children if you pay all the bills?



(Chorus)



I am wearing my new dress tonight

But you don't even notice me.

Say our goodbyes

Say our goodbyes

Say our goodbyes



We finally sold the Chevy

When we had another baby

And you took that job in Tennessee

You made friends at the farm

And you joined them at the bar

Almost every single day of the week

I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer.



Where is my John Wayne?

Where is my prairie son?

Where is my happy ending?

Where have all the Cowboys gone?

Where is my Marlboro Man?

Where is my shiny gun?

Where is my lonely ranger?

Where have all the cowboys gone?



Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea

Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea

Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea
