Clint Black - Code of the West lyrics

All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart Every western hero on the screen's Been with me from the start Ridin' high and showin' me the way And they've been there with me through my toughest times We'd ride out to the boundries but we never crossed those lines And that's a code that I'm still livin' by today The code of the west was black and white Good guys and the bad You would always know who's wrong or right By the color of their hat Now there aren't so many happy trails I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see You don't go off into the sunset And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea And it's good to see the bad guys on the run While our modern day heroes show 'em how the west was won On their trail 'til they bring the last one down We could use a few more cowboys here today A few more days of reckoning and a lot more hell to pay Where that debt is owed there ain't no middle ground The code of the west was black and white The good guys and the bad You would always know who's wrong or right By the color of their hat Now there aren't so many happy trails I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see You don't go off into the sunset And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea The code of the west was black and white The good guys and the bad You would always know who's wrong and who was right By the color of their hat Now there aren't so many happy trails I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see You don't go off into the sunset And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart
