Please take a moment to check out Drive, the latest recording by John William Thompson.


I’m just an ole cowboy.  You know I can’t hide it
Looking for something I’ll know when I find it
I don’t work in the saddle and I don’t sling iron
But I can play this here guitar girl when I’m on fire

And I’m gonna drive all night as soon as they turn out the lights
Pack up that eighteen wheeler truck.  Get all my boys on the bus
I’d rather be by your side girl when that morning light shines
I know I’ve been gone too long.  But even ole cowboys like me finally come home

Well I think there’s cowboy in every man
You tell us that we can’t.  Well dang it I can
I ain’t half as good as the world thinks I am but I’m as good as the rest
I’ve just got some fine picking friends who’ll be here till the end
And tonight were gonna give em our best

And we’re gonna drive all night as soon as they turn out the lights
Pack up that eighteen wheeler truck.  Get all my boys on the bus
I’d rather be by your side, girl when that morning light shines
I know I’ve been gone too long.  But even ole cowboys like me finally come home

So I take to the road whenever I can
Sing all my new songs and make some new friends
and I’ll bare my soul for everyone else
Try not to shut down when I get back

I’m gonna drive all night as soon as they turn out the lights.
Pack up that eighteen wheeler truck.  Get all my boys on the bus
I’d rather be by your side girl when that morning light shines
I know I’ve been gone too long.  But even ole Cowboys like me finally come home

I’m gonna drive all night so go on and turn out your lights
I’ll be right by your side, girl at the first morning light
I know I’ve been gone too long – me and the boys singing our songs
Looking for something on this road, but even ole cowboys like me finally come home
