Intro

        

Verse 1

N.C.
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

Pre-chorus

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?

Interlude

    

Verse 2

N.C.
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

Pre-chorus

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?

Interlude

    

Bridge

I am wearing my new dress tonight
but you don't look, you don't even notice me  
Say our goodbyes, say our goodbyes, say our goodbyes 
N.C.
We finally sold the Chevy, when we had another baby
And you took that job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm, and you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week

Pre-chorus

I will wash the dishes, while you go have a beer

Chorus

Where is my John Wayne, where is my prairie son?
Where is my happy ending, where have all the cowboys gone?
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? 
Yippe yi yippe ya Yippe yi yippe ya
