And i have visions 

Like scars are in the sky 

Boiling water is running from your eye 

And all our trouble 

Cannot be gone too soon 

A cowboy on the moon 

And i am stupid 

I clutter up my mind 

I'm always sorry 

For somebody left behind 

And i will write you 

When i can find the time 

A cowboy on the moon 


When i was little 

We gathered round the set 

Remote controls 

Were not invented yet 

An historic moment 

And now i have two pets 

A cowboy on the moon 

The blessed buttons 

And the sacred sandwich 

A happy hamper 

In which to put my clothes 

A texas spaceman 

And a boy named buzz 

A cowboy on the moon
