Just a Roy Rodgers/Gene Autrey kind of song. It's one of my favorite writes.

This song was written as a challenge to put "@0 chickens for a saddle" in either the title, chorus, or both.

Lyrics

This Cowboyas Goin Home

Iad been ridina fences
Near as long as I recall
Chokina on the doggies dust
On trail rides every fall
Iad had my fill of biscuits
And dried out campfire beans
I wanted a little house
Beside a country stream

So I traded in my saddle
Six-shooter and my roan
My broke in chaps and lariat
Everything I owned
Found a place so pretty
Just outsidaa town
Built a little cabin
Started plowina ground

I got blisters on my calluses-------------------------- Chorus
And walkina is a chore
And pluckina feathers is a lot
More than I bargained for
Twenty chickens for a saddle
My plow and all I own
For a horse an oufit
This cowboys goin, home

Turnaround 4 bars

You wonat hear me complainina
About a little dust
And when the rain is soakina me
I wonat pitch a fuss
Iave learned the grass ainat greener
It only looks that way
So Iam back in the saddle
And here Iam gonna stay

I got blisters on my calluses-------------------------- Chorus
And walkina is a chore
And pluckina feathers is a lot
More than I bargained for
Twenty chickens for a saddle
My plow and all I own
For a horse an oufit
This cowboys goin, home

Turnaround 8 bars

I got blisters on my calluses-------------------------- Chorus
And walkina is a chore
And pluckina feathers is a lot
More than I bargained for
Twenty chickens for a saddle
My plow and all I own
For a horse an oufit
This cowboys goin, home
 
I need a horse an oufit
This cowboys goin, home
