Here is a song for the hot summer sun
And the fortunes as sure as the sand
And if I can’t get through it all without sighing
I’ll sing it the best way I can
They say that a cowboy is not supposed to cry
So they always told me
I never knew why
So I’ll plow through the desert
And smile through the pain
And pray that these teardrops
Will turn into rain
Somewhere off the foot of this mountain
Somewhere near the bright shining sea
Somewhere ff the foot of this mountain
They say there’s a rainbow there waiting for me
To remind me of someone that I used to be
Now the mothers and fathers they seem really bothered
‘bout raising their children these days
‘Cause they might grow up and be all kinds of WILD things
Like how I turned out, anyway
Goodbye to my mama, goodbye to my pa
I left for Montana, to be an outlaw
They found me in Mobile
They lost me somehow
So whoever else finds me
Can please take me now
Somewhere off the foot of this mountain
Somewhere near the bright shining sea
Somewhere off the foot of this mountain
They say there’s a rainbow there waiting for me
At the end of that rainbow, yeah, I’d like to see
Just a picture of someone so wild and so free
To remind me of someone that I’d like to be
