They rode like they was Rangers as they came out of the skies
They had High-Tech horses with beacons in their eyes
My gun was cocked and ready when I looked into their faces
That`s when I kinew they weren`t no ordinary buck-a-roos born of the human race
No, sir, these Cowboys came from space
Their shootin` irons shot laser light and their spurs was anodized
Bandanas caked with stardust and their jeans was pressurized
One of them handed me a halter, said, "Tighten up the girth."
But by the time I hit the saddle we were miles above the Earth.
And I mean MILES above the Earth
Yippie-aye-ay-e
We saw London, Paris, Budapest, Kashmir and Tokyo
And there ain`t no sight like a desert night looking down on Mexico
Past the Moons of Mars and Jupiter, `round Saturn`s rings we rode
Toward the frozen plains of Pluto where even the sunshine`s cold
Man, I do mean COLD
Then our innterstellar stallions sailed through the starless void
There was nothing to miss in that emptiness, not even a stray asteroid
So we picked up the trail of a comet`s tail, man, you can`t even DREAM that
far
And the hoofbeats beat of the rhythm of an old catgut guitar
Just the strummin` of a distant star
Yippie-aye-ay-e
Well, it could have lasted minutes or a hundred thousand years
When they got me down, I was safe and sound and it hadn`t even popped my ears
And they stood up in their saddles and they shot a bolt of light
That`s when I knew they were the good guys, yes, sir. you got it right
`Cause their cowboy hats was White
So as they pulled their reins towards the settin` sun
I said, "Before you go, I`d like to know, just where you boys come from?"
One of `em opened up a star chart and said, "right here where this `X` is
It`s the biggest place in Outer Space, the planet known as Texas"
Yippie-aye-ay-e
Yippie-aye-ay-e
Yippie-aye-ay-e
Yippie-aye-ay-e
