Nowhere To Ride

I spent 14 years on the back of this saddle
Killing time, working cattle for very low pay
A fat cat from town, I heard he's coming round
Big money, big buildings, they're coming our way
Big money, big buildings, they're coming our way
You see, the city's go up, the towns are going down
Next generation's working in town
I can't make a living on the other side
What's a cowboy gotta do when there's nowhere to ride?
The high price they pay and take the land away
Break it up and pave it up and call it downtown
And cows can't graze on streets that are paved
Guess the cow and the boy gotta move it on down
The cow and the boy are nowhere around
Yeah, the city's go up, the town's are going down
Next generation's working in town
I can't make a living on the other side
What's a cowboy gotta do when there's nowhere to ride?
Now the boss says sell it
A company develops
A hundred-year ranch is going down today
And guys like me, dying breed
Guess the cow and the boy got a ride away
The cow and the boy got a ride away
'Cause the city's go up, the town's are going down
Next generation's working in town
I can't make a living on the other side
What's a cowboy gotta do when there's nowhere to ride?
Yeah, the city's go up, the town's are going down
Next generation's working in town
I can't make a living on the other side
Yo, what's a cowboy gotta do when there's nowhere to ride?
Yo, what's a cowboy gotta do when there's nowhere to ride?
Oh, yeah
