Maybe Lyrics

Ain't got much holding me back

So, I skipped from the place I lived

Loaded a train near Boston town

Looking for sage and desert wind

The folks I told they couldn't believe

Saying it's something folks just don't do

Maybe they're right but I'll take my chances

Maybe I like playing a fool

Well maybe I never believed

That I was one of them

Well maybe their established ways

Have never been the way I am

Well maybe I'm saddle bound

Cowboy dreaming in a mountain town

Train pulled in early spring

Runoff flooding up the valley floor

Folks were filling up bags of sand

Helping their neighbor on down the road

Cause it had been a decade or more

Since they'd seen anything like this

The flood plain changing its ways

Like the newly arrived kid

Well maybe I always believed

that I was one of them

Well maybe their established ways

Have always been the way I am

Well maybe I'm saddle bound

Cowboy dreaming in a mountain town

Smoke came in at the end of July

Fire from up north and west

Ride it out till September comes

When the cold suppresses them

Spend the days with the sun on my bones

At night I'm L-I-V-I-N

The bossman he's cracking his whip

No more time for the wallowing

Well maybe he always believed

That he was one of them

Well maybe their established ways

Have always been the way he is

Well maybe he's saddle bound

Cowboy dreaming in a mountain town
