DESCRIPTION
I wrote this as a "cowboy lullaby" when my nephew was born in Amarillo, Texas. I've always loved country music, especially old country music like Hank Williams or the Louvin Brothers.

LYRICS
[VERSE 1]
Amarillo cowboy, ridin' that old dusty trail
Hear the coyote's lullaby
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
Your mama cried and cried
Hopin' you wouldn't go away
But the prairie moon, she called
And you had to hit the trail

[CHORUS]
Yippee-yo-yippee-ki-yay, lonely cowboy
I hope you find your way back home
Yippee-yo-yippee-ki-yay, lonely cowboy
One more Red River dawn
And you'll be on your way, hey hey
Lonely cowboy, goin' home

[VERSE 2]
Amarillo cowboy, down Palo Duro way
Your pony's grown so tired
After a long, hot, and dusty day
The night has turned so cold
You can't help but think of home
But just like the tumbleweed
You blow on and on and on and on

[CHORUS]
Yippee-yo-yippee-ki-yay, lonely cowboy
I hope you find your way back home
Yippee-yo-yippee-ki-yay, lonely cowboy
One more Red River dawn
And you'll be on your way, hey hey
Lonely cowboy, goin' home
