Are There Any More Real Cowboys? - Neil Young

Are there any more

real cowboys

Left out in these hills?

Will the fire hit the iron

One more time?

And will one more

dusty pick-up

Coming rolling down the road

With a load of feed

before the sun gets high?

Well, I hope that

working cowboy never dies.

Not the one

that’s snortin' cocaine

When the honky-tonk's all closed

But the one

that prays for more rain

Heaven knows

That the good feed

brings the money

And the money buys the clothes

Not the diamond sequins

shining on TV

But the kind the

working cowboy really needs.

Are there any more

country families

Still working hand in hand

Trying hard to stay together

And make a stand?

While the rows and rows of houses

Come creepin' up on the land

Where the cattle graze and

an old grey barn still stands

Are there any more

real cowboys in this land?

Are there any more

real cowboys in this land?
