Most people think cowboys originated in
the USA,in truth, cowboys originated elsewhere but were
popularized in America. Cowboys are of
Spanish descent, and the first cowboys rode
across the rolling plains of Spain with their trusty
horses and cowboy felt hats.
Cowboys were made even more popular with the coming of actors like
Clint Eastwood …http://www.youtube.com/watch?

Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Chorus: Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads
All my memories, gathered 'round her Miners' Lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Chorus I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And drivin' down the road I get the feeling That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Chorus x 2 (modulates)
