Beneath the prairie skies In dreams I'd like to ride Beyond the stars With cowboy Jimmie Joe
Cowboy Jimmie Joe Many years ago Left the rolling prairie Wandered far away Pitched a place to stay In the noisy town
Cowboy Jimmie Joe Made a fortune grow But he stayed a cowboy Longing for a place Full of empty space Where a man is free
Beneath the prairie skies In dreams he used to ride Beyond the stars Where sad coyotes roam He'd listen to the cries That echo from the sighs Of old guitars That call a cowboy home
Beneath the prairie skies In dreams I'd like to ride Beyond the stars Where cowboy's long to go I'd listen to the cries That echo from the sighs Of old guitars With Cowboy Jimmie Joe With Cowboy Jimmie Joe
