Way up on the mountain there ain`t nobody countin`
Exactly when the cowboy`s going to fly.
When you hear the thunder there ain`t no need to wonder;
He`s saddled up and headed for the sky.
Because he`s an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy.
He`s wild as the rockies he rides.
The cougar in the canyon, the devil`s old companion.
Riding with a fire in his eyes.
Mother`s on the hillside, he`s coming in the landslide.
Lock the door and lookout down below.
I know you think you taught her but you better hide your daughter.
I guarantee something`s going to blow.
Because he`s an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy.
He`s wild as the rockies he rides.
The cougar in the canyon, the devil`s old companion.
Riding with a fire in his eyes.
Tonight you might see him sitting on the lee rim
Silhouetted there against the moon.
Howling like a coyote, hitting every high note.
Telling you he`d be returning soon.
Because he`s an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy.
He`s wild as the rockies he rides.
The cougar in the canyon, the devil`s old companion.
Riding with a fire in his eyes.
Because he`s an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy.
He`s wild as the rockies he rides.
The cougar in the canyon, the devil`s old companion.
Riding with a fire in his eyes.
