Grew up out in Silverado
A dust bowl of a town
Where the desert wind is lawless
And the sun just burns you down
A cruel and dangerous country
For a boy to find his way
Where you kept your hand near your steel To live another day
But the hard road led me onward Out of the wind and
the stone
To a green hill city of rivers
Where I finally built a home
Now the stars shine sweet in Austin
With a family of my own
And I love you for a thousand years
Deep down in this cowboy heart
Yes, I love you for a thousand years
In this old cowboy heart
The memories of Silverado
Are just shadows on the wall
When I look into your eyes
I don't fear the dark at all
The cruel plains are behind me
This wanderer's found his grace
Now the stars shine sweet in Austin
With a family of my own
And I love you for a thousand years
Deep down in this cowboy heart
Yes, I love you for a thousand years
In this old cowboy heart
For a thousand years...
In my
cowboy heart (hummmm)
