Cowboys and Indians

Written by Michael Parker

Cowboys and Indians

He had a tomahawk, I had a six gun
His made of rubber, mine full of caps
We’d fight wars on wild horses
From daylight‘til dinner
And go back for more after that

Now we're over 40, our kids are plugged in
Playin' together, even when they're apart
They visit places
we never dreamed of
Without steppin' foot in the yard

Skateboarders, Snowboarders, Heroes, and Hitmen
One's Aaron Rodgers and one's Russell Wilson
The sun's shining bright on green grass they ain't bendin'
You won't find 'em outside pretendin'
They're cowboy's and Indians…
 
I've seen 'em fightin', I've seen 'em racin'
Saving the planet, and runnin' from cops
Rocket car soccer, chopping up zombies
Buildin' whole worlds out of blocks

They're gangsters and wizards, and Tomb Raidin' ladies
Robots and monsters, and both, like Tom Brady
Bikes gathering dust, footballs deflating
and not one single neighbor kid's playin'
Cowboys and Indians

You might call it old school; but I had an idea
Called up my friend and said what do you say
You bring the tomahawk, I'll bring the six gun
We'll teach these kids how to play

But they're aliens, astronauts, sword-fightin' legends
And who could compete with that kind of pretendin'
So on the back porch, two old friends are sittin'
With some smoke and some whiskey for sippin'
In that time honored tradition
Of cowboy's and indians
