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
