Oh you get me ready in your '56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade
Take shelter on my front porch
Dandy lion, sun scorching
Would you like a glass of cold lemonade
I will do the laundry
If you pay all the bills

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

Why don't you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little something to eat
Oh, I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet
I will raise the children
If you pay all the bills

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't, but you don't even notice me
Say goodbye
Say your goodbyes
Say our goodbyes

We finally sold the Chevy
When we had another baby
And you took the job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm
You joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week

I will wash the dishes
While you go have a beer
Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

Where is my Marlboro man?
Where is his shiny gun?
Where is my lonely ranger?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

Yippee yo, yippee yeah
Yippee yo, yippee yeah
Yippee yo, yippee yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Ooh ooh, la la
