Emmylou Harris - So You Think You're a Cowboy lyrics

So you think you're a cowboy but you're only a kid With a mind to do everything wrong And it starts to get smoother when the circle begins But by the time that you get there it's gone So you think you're a winner but you're losing again The cards are all lucky but then And the hand that you're holding means nothing at all Just knowing is all that is there So you think you're a cowboy... [ guitar ] So your life is a fun the best that you can tomorrow is not right or wrong And don't wait for tomorrow to bring you your dreams Cause by the time that they get there they're gone So you think you're a cowboy... Yeah but by the time that you get there it's gone
