Won't you
pity the urban cowboy,
as he walks so cool and slow?
He'd really like to act his age,
but his age was long ago.
Make up your mind, take that plane,
you could be with him today
There's too much time to say it in,
and nothing left to say
Dream on, lonely cowboy,
too sad to make a change
For the laughing, bright -eyed city girls
will keep you from the rain
For a long some time before you
He loved another well
But the lady's gone away now
And where she is this few can tell
And the man with all the answers
Waits alone for you to come
He sits and feed s upon his dreams
and he'll surely save you some
Dream on, cowboy,
too sad to make a change
For the laughing,
bright -eyed city girls
Who keep you from the rain
Into the urban sunset,
the urban cowboy strolls
A nameless fading memory
While the final credit rolls
His mind is on the longhorns
Though he walks a city street
You're not there to see him
brush the trail dust from his feet
Dream on, lonely cowboy
Too sad to make a change
All the laughing, right -eyed city girls
Will keep you from the rain you
