[Verse 1]
Another traffic jam, backed-up interstate
No way around it, half the town gonna be late
Me and this old Chevy are gettin' kinda hot
Tailpipes smokin' up a four-lane parkin' lot
Wish I could ride the wind, get out of these fumes
Take a trip and disappear back in the rearview
Wake up in the wild west, chasin' mustangs
Steerin'-wheel hands holdin' leather reigns
[Chorus]
When this big city was a tumbleweed town
And a good whiskey wasn't watered down
And a midnight, moonlight, double-bareback ride
Was every pretty girl's dream
When pickups were horses and cowboys were kings
[Verse 2]
Back when the sunrise meant it was time to work
And when it set again, meant you were all hers
A tip of your hat was enough to make her fall
And a good woman's love meant you really had it all
[Chorus]
When this big city was a tumbleweed town
And a good whiskey wasn't watered down
And a midnight, moonlight, double-bareback ride
Was every pretty girl's dream
When pickups were horses and cowboys were kings
[Bridge]
If this Silverado seat was only a saddle
I'd give her right kick and jump that deep ditch
And high tail it for greener pastures
[Chorus]
When this big city was a tumbleweed town
And a good whiskey wasn't watered down
And a midnight, moonlight, double-bareback ride
Was every pretty girl's dream
When pickups were horses
If only pickups were horses and cowboys were kings
[Outro]
Cowboys were kings
Another traffic jam, backed-up interstate
No way around it, half the town gonna be late
Me and this old Chevy are gettin' kinda hot
Tailpipes smokin' up a four-lane parkin' lot
Wish I could ride the wind, get out of these fumes
Take a trip and disappear back in the rearview
Wake up in the wild west, chasin' mustangs
Steerin'-wheel hands holdin' leather reigns
[Chorus]
When this big city was a tumbleweed town
And a good whiskey wasn't watered down
And a midnight, moonlight, double-bareback ride
Was every pretty girl's dream
When pickups were horses and cowboys were kings
[Verse 2]
Back when the sunrise meant it was time to work
And when it set again, meant you were all hers
A tip of your hat was enough to make her fall
And a good woman's love meant you really had it all
[Chorus]
When this big city was a tumbleweed town
And a good whiskey wasn't watered down
And a midnight, moonlight, double-bareback ride
Was every pretty girl's dream
When pickups were horses and cowboys were kings
[Bridge]
If this Silverado seat was only a saddle
I'd give her right kick and jump that deep ditch
And high tail it for greener pastures
[Chorus]
When this big city was a tumbleweed town
And a good whiskey wasn't watered down
And a midnight, moonlight, double-bareback ride
Was every pretty girl's dream
When pickups were horses
If only pickups were horses and cowboys were kings
[Outro]
Cowboys were kings
