When I was just a little boy
I learned to call the cows
From Eddy Arnold singing strong
About the Cattle Call
And I'll never forget the Pioneer's singing
'See them tumbling down'
Well, I think it's time that we put Western
Back in the country sound.
Ev'ry time that I hear Rex
Sing about his 'Arizona Sky'
Or Roy and Dale's Happy Trails
They always bring a sigh!
My throat gets tight, then the tears come
See them tumbling down
But, I think it's time that we put Western
Back in the country sound.
Hear those pi-i-oneers
Singing 'bout cool, clear water
While they're headin' for the last roundup...
Yes, I think it's time that we put Western
Back in the country sound.
Oh, how I wish that I could be
'Back In The Saddle' with Gene
But days like that I live again
Only in my dreams
And when I hear Tex sing 'High Noon'
My heart comes tumbling down
Well, I think it's time that we put Western
Back in the country sound.
Hear those pi-i-oneers
Singing 'bout cool, clear water
While they're headin' for the last roundup...
Yes, I think it's time that we put Western
Back in the country sound.
