Lyrics The Marshall Tucker Band

The Marshall Tucker Band

Cattle Drive

Hired me on a greenhorn

Didn't know a rope from a horse

But I wanted to be a cowboy

So I took the job of course

The foreman he said "Son you gonna ride

At the end of my herd"

All the wranglers sat around in a circle

And nobody said a word

'Cause there's a woman in my dreams

That keeps me alive

If I ever see her again

Lord I'll never ride drag on another cattle drive

There's a rumor goin' round

That we're near a Kansas City town

And when you're ridin drag on this cattle drive

It takes 'bout a week for the word to get around

'Cause there's a woman in my dreams

That keeps me alive

If I ever see her again

Lord I'll never ride drag on another cattle drive
