Yippee Ki Yay
As kids we swore to be good guys as men
'Cause we lived like heroes when we lived back then
Indians and cowboys, well, look at us now
You'll pardon me, son, guess I'm drunk again
Pre-So, set 'em up, barkeep
One for the road
We'll drink to the children
And the stories they're told
Singin' yippee ki, yippee ki, yippee ki yay
Back in the saddle, back in the day
Yippee ki, yippee ki, yippee ki yay
Can't help thinkin' it's all fallin' away
As young men we lived life so true and brave
Dragon slayers, with damsels to save
Sheriffs and outlaws, now old men with no cause
One hand on the bottle, one foot in the grave
Pre-So, set 'em up, barkeep
One for the road
We'll drink to old friends
And the stories they told
Bridge
There's no hope in the bottle
No stars in the sky
So we toast to our heroes
And try to get through the night
Instrumental verse
I stare at my glass, it's empty
Not like I need nothin' else here to tempt me
The world's spinnin' round, way too fast
And all the good times are now just a memory
Pre-So set 'em up, barkeep
One for the road
We'll drink to ourselves
And stories well-told
