Charlie Daniels — Running With the Crowd

[Verse 1] Come all you young cowboys and listen to me And don't waste your life on that old hanging tree And don't think that size ever makes man small You find out it's nothing at all They know a tension when the old words are said Don't cheat in poker and don't lose your head Lost cowboys are human and bullets kill dead Six guns don't make a man tall [Chorus] Because it's all so easy to run with the crowd And they are a damn good bunch of cowboys Makes a man feel proud [Verse 2] Do a honest days work for the money you spend Be fast with the ladies and slow with the man Be kind to your horses and true to your friends And treat every mother's son fair Don't stay in town late on a Saturday night Don't let no one tease you into a fight Because when they're saddled with guns There ain't nobody right It's a short trail that leads to nowhere [Chorus][x2]
