Lyrics Charlie Daniels

Charlie Daniels

Running With the Crowd

Come all ye young cowboys and listen to me

And don't waste your life on that ol' hangin' tree

And don't think that size ever makes a man small

You find out it's nothing at all

They know a tension when the old words are said

'Don't cheat in poker and don't lose your head'

Lost cowboys are human and bullets kill dead

Six guns don't make a man tall

'Cause it's all so easy to run with the crowd

And they're a damn good bunch of cowboys

Makes a man feel proud

Do a honest day's work for the money you spend

Be fast with the ladies and slow with the man

Be kind to your horses and true to your friends

And treat every mother's son fair

Don't stay in town late on a Saturday night

Don't let no one tease you into a fight

'Cause when they're saddled with guns

There ain't nobody right

It's a short trail that leads to nowhere

'Cause it's all so easy to run with the crowd

And they're a damn good bunch of cowboys

Makes a man feel proud

'Cause it's all so easy to run with the crowd

And they're a damn good bunch of cowboys

Makes a man feel proud
