Lyric
I take off time to timeWith those crazy friends of mine Head out on steel horses With wheels and we rideWe burn up that road to old MexicoBlend in with the desert Just we amigos And we rollAnd cowboys like us sure do have funRacing the wind, chasing the sun Take the long way around back to square one Today we’re just outlaws out on the run There’ll be no regrets, no worries and such For cowboys like usWe talk about living, babies and womenAll that we’ve lost and all we’ve been giving We sing about true love, lie about things we ain’t done Drink one more cold one, come morning get up And we rollCowboys like us sure do have funRacing the wind, chasing the sun Take the long way around back to square one Today we’re just outlaws out on the run There’ll be no regrets, no worries and such For cowboys like usCowboys like us sure do have funRacing the wind, chasing the sun Take the long way around back to square one Today we’re just outlaws out on the run There’ll be no regrets, no worries and such For cowboys like usCowboys like us
