Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?

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 the laundry if you pay all the bills

CHORUS:

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 something 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, 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 the 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

Chorus

Where is my Marlboro man
Where is his shiny gun
Where is my lonely ranger
Where have all the cowboys gone
Where have all the cowboys gone
Where have all the cowboys gone

Yippee aw, yippee yea (6 times)

2. He's at the bar

or gone for months at a time like all cowboys. This song never made any sense.

3. My issue with this song is that it was during a time of true growth for women

The 1990's produced many new examples of feminist strength, from Hillary Clinton as First Lady to even the greater acceptance of lesbianism (through Ellen Degeneres and others). I thought the song itself carried somewhat antiquated themes which, although will always be an issue until the end of days, has been well sorted out by the common populace.

6. Which is exactly what she is saying in the song

that her marriage didn't live up to her expectations.

added on edit - what's she saying here do you think?

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't, 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 the 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

9. They're on a bye week

[krispos42]

11. Political correctness killed them

ELF took away the cows
PETA took away the leather
The ASPCA took away the horses
The American Lung Association took away their cigarettes
The Brady Campaign took away their revolvers


Now they're riding bicycles, wearing organic cotton, and raising soybeans.
