Homestead Hands
Written by Jeff Rolfzen & Rocky Steen-Rolfzen
Out in the west they don’t take their rest til the whip and the saddle are worn
Find me some shade and I’ll daydream away of a crowd in a friendly saloon
They’ve got many names for what I’ve been feelin’
Some call it dustbowl blues some cabin fever
But all the fresh air in Wyoming can’t cure me
I wanna hear the sound of that parlor piano
It’s out of tune but I can still find my porch just enough
To raise a glass to some old cowboys dreams
These homestead hands were born and bred for workin
But singing’s all I really wanna do
The prairie dogs don’t seem to care for ballads
And my horse ain’t one for dancing shoes
You can’t sing duets with the fire and it’s smoke
But at least I’ve got these cows to yodel to

But at least I’ve got these cows to yodel to
