Ken Greer - Cowboys In Hong Kong (As Far As Siam) lyrics

Me and some friends, whoa We been buddies since Boca Raton Signed on a ship To take a trip to old Taiwan Got as far as Siam Took it on the lam Arrived in Hong Kong with all our money gone We joined up with a gang when We found we couldn't go on We still remain here Though we don't belong That's what they call us Cowboys in Hong Kong The stakes were high tonight We're going to break on through We're hiding in the tall gra** Waiting for our signal to move Our friends are inside They were beaten they were tied We've got to get them out Before they blow our cover wide Some sad GI Joe's Mind wanders home Thinks about a girl left behind We're freedom fighters And so we say They like to tell us That anyway We still remain here Though we don't belong That's why they call us Cowboys in Hong Kong There's a girl that he sees When he's feeling lonely She'll laugh and say, 'Okay Joe' When they hold real tight In the dead of the night He'll pretend she's from Ohio Oh... I'm a cowboy in Hong Kong We're freedom fighters And so we say They like to tell us That anyway We still remain here Though we don't belong That's why they call us Cowboys in Hong Kong
