I used be a cowboy with a six gun on my side
I used to be a drinker with a six pack for the ride
Driving down a peaceful road ******* on some brew
That’s all I ever wanted and all I ever knew

I used to a astronaut looking down from far away
I used to be a doctor healing those who couldn’t pay
Traveling down a peaceful road ******* on some brew
That’s all I ever wanted and all I ever knew

I used to a builder built some houses just for fun
I used to be a joker telling jokes to everyone
Driving down a peaceful road ******* on some brew
I never was an addict but I popped a pill or two

But things got hard and all things do change
There ain’t no more drinking on the open range
So now I sit by the old picture show
Smoke a cigarette and sip a cup a Joe
My how time flies’s when you’re having so much fun
Not a care in the world just waiting on the sun
I wish you could see all the things I feel
I can always stop by for a free home cooked meal
