🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
If the White House was in Texas, man, we’d get a straighter answerIf they’d let us smoke what we want, we’d have a lot less cancerThere’d be a bunch more daddies, sons could be proud ofWe’d have half the crime, we’d have twice the funWith a few more cowboys, be a lot less outlawsWith a few more amens, be a lot less bad callsWith a few more yes ma’ams and a lot less yes manThis world would be a better place to live inWith a few more cowboysIf we did it with a handshake, we’d save a lot of paperThat’d save a lot of trees we’re shippin’ overseas to make herIf we stood by our word, took care of our ownBought it made in the USA, we’d keep it here at homeWith a few more cowboys, be a lot less outlawsWith a few more amens, be a lot less bad callsWith a few more yes ma’ams and a lot less yes manThis world would be a better place to live inWith a few more cowboys
