"Cowboys In Hong Kong (As Far As Siam)" lyrics - RED RIDER

Me and some friends, whoa
We been buddies since Boca Raton
We signed on a ship to
Take a trip to old Taiwan
Got as far as Siam
And took it on the lam
Arrived in Hong Kong with all our money gone
We joined up with a gang when
We found that we couldn't go on

We still remain here
We don't belong
And they call us
Cowboys in Hong Kong

The stakes were getting high tonight
We might break on through
We were hiding in the tall grass
Waiting for our signal to move
But our friends are inside
They were beaten they were tied
But we got to get them out
Before they blow our cover wide
Like some sad GI Joe
My mnd wanders home
And I think about the girl left behind

We still remain here
We don't belong
And that's why they call us
Cowboys in Hong Kong

There's a girl that he sees
When he's feeling lonely
And she laughs and she said 'Okay Joe'
And they hold real tight
In the dead of the night
He'll pretend she's from Ohio
Oh... I'm a cowboy in Hong Kong

We're freedom fighters
That's what we say
Yes and they like to tell us
That anyway
And we still remain here
We don't belong
And that's why they call us
Cowboys in Hong Kong
