"WHERE SHALL I GO?"
(A Cowboy's Hard Times)
Music and Lyrics by:
BILL STAINES
VERSE # 01:
I once was a cowboyAnd I used to run wild.
I rodeoed and wrangled
And I rambled in style.
But I'm too old for horses,
Too old for the show,
And I'm too young for Heaven.
Now, where shall I go?
CHORUS:
Where shall I go?
Where shall I go?
I'm too young for Heaven.
Now, where shall I go?
VERSE # 02:
I once had a true love.
I made her my wife.
I swear that I loved her
Near most of my life.
But, the cold of the winter
And wind laid her low.
She's gone on before me.
Now, where shall I go?
VERSE # 03:
I was never a drunkard,
But, this I will say,
The taste of the whiskey
Gets better each day.
The bartender scowled,
"You're drinking too slow.
We close in ten minutes."
Now, where shall I go?
Now, it's out in the evening
With the stars burning bright,
Nothing but memories
To share with the night.
