Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
   Why don't we go sit down in the shade?
   Take shelter on my front porch
   The dandy lion sun scorching,
   Like a glass of cold lemonade?
   - I will do laundry if you pay all the bills.
  
   Where is my John Wayne?
   Where is my prairie son?
   Where is my happy ending?
   Where have all the Cowboys gone?
  
   Why don't you stay the evening
   Kick back and watch the TV
   And I'll fix a little somethin' to eat?
   Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
   How do you take your coffee my sweet?
   - I will raise the children if you pay all the bills?
  
   (Chorus)
  
   I am wearing my new dress tonight
   But you don't even notice me.
   Say our goodbyes
   Say our goodbyes
   Say our goodbyes
  
   We finally sold the Chevy
   When we had another baby
   And you took that job in Tennessee
   You made friends at the farm
   And you joined them at the bar
   Almost every single day of the week
   - I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer.
  
   Where is my John Wayne?
   Where is my prairie son?
   Where is my happy ending?
   Where have all the Cowboys gone?
   Where is my Marlboro Man?
   Where is my shiny sun?
   Where is my lonely ranger?
   Where have all the cowboys gone?
  
   Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea
   Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea
   Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea
