You laughed when I said I wanted to be a cowboy
But you knew I was just joking
You cried when you heard I was saying goodbye
But you knew, I wasn't going

Do you smile for the day when you wake up and say
Let's go to the sun, let's make our own way
To the stars

So I stopped in for coffee on a blustery night
As I shake off the cold you say it's allright
Smile and hand me my change
So with a token remembrance and a lightened heart
I sigh and go my own way
But you know
I'll be back for that smile again

And later we'll go cruising to find the stars
Talk about nothing wonder just where we are
And we'll find it's the same thing that keeps us going
And we're both going crazy in this one horse town
Let's strike out, let's travel, let's find common ground
In a smile, a dream, a song we live by
A companion, a friend, are you willing to try?

Do you dare fly?

Jam/solo

CODA:
You laughed when I said I wanted to be... a cowboy
