RECKLESS KELLY
"Idaho Cowboy"
(Pinto Bennett / Baxter Black)

Way up on the mountain there ain't nobody countin' exactly when the cowboy's going to fly
When you hear the thunder there ain't no need to wonder; he's saddled up and headed for the sky

Because he's an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy
He's wild as the rockies he rides
The cougar in the canyon, the devil's old companion
Riding with a fire in his eyes

Mother's on the hillside, he's coming in the landslide
Lock the door and lookout down below
I know you think you taught her but you better hide your daughter
I guarantee something's going to blow

Because he's an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy
He's wild as the rockies he rides
The cougar in the canyon, the devil's old companion
Riding with a fire in his eyes

Tonight you might see him sitting on the lee rim silhouetted there against the moon
Howling like a coyote, hitting every high note
Telling you he'd be returning soon

Because he's an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy
He's wild as the rockies he rides
The cougar in the canyon, the devil's old companion
Riding with a fire in his eyes

Because he's an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy
He's wild as the rockies he rides
The cougar in the canyon, the devil's old companion
Riding with a fire in his eyes
