Artist/Band: David Allan Coe
Lyrics for Song: Young Dallas Cowboy
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - David Allan Coe



By David Allan Coe

Well, I've hiked through the sage brush,

I ran up some rail

I slept on the bench in a few county jails

And they laugh as they knocked all the wind from my sail

When I was a young Dallas Cowboy

I've tried hard to tackle the problems at hand

I've kicked a few habits, and I've marched to the band

I tried hard to follow the lady of the land

When I was a young Dallas Cowboy

I've made a few passes that weren't incomplete

I stumbled through yards on my way to the street

Running from beds where I did more than sleep

When I was a young Dallas Cowboy

(Talk)



Well, he tackled the bottle and he fumbled the ball

And he'd touchdown in alleys along where he'd fall

Just wait for his son to make up for it all

When I was a young Dallas Cowboy

When I was a baby, he broke up the team

Divorcing my Mama to live with a dream

He had back in college when he was still green

And I was a young Dallas Cowboy

Now the footballs I held did not fit in my hand

Got me a guitar and I've got me a band

So don't put me down when I'm taking my stand

Be proud of this young Dallas Cowboy

Yeah I'm proud I'm a young Dallas Cowboy

Be proud of those young Dallas Cowboys


Young Dallas Cowboy

David Allan Coe's 'Young Dallas Cowboy' stands as a defining song in his catalog of country-western storytelling, capturing the gritty persona of the Texas rodeo legend. The track exemplifies Coe's signature blend of honky-tonk and outlaw country, characterized by his distinctive vocal delivery and lyrics that paint vivid pictures of the American West. Released during a period where Coe solidified his reputation as a master of the genre, the song reflects the cultural landscape of the 1970s and early 1980s, where the mythos of the cowboy intersected with the realities of modern life. It remains a staple of his discography, often performed live to resonate with audiences who appreciate his unfiltered approach to musical themes.
