To save my soul I can't get a date Baby's got it tuned on channel eight Wyatt Earp and the Big Cheyenne Comin' thru the T.V. shootin' up the land Mm hmm, my baby loves the Western movies My baby loves the Western movies Mm hmm, my baby loves the Western movies I call baby on the telephone To tell her half of my head was gone I just got hit by a great big brick She says thanks for reminding me about that Maverick Mm hmm, my baby loves the Western movies My baby loves the Western movies Mm hmm, my baby (loves the Western movies) Well there's Jeremy Roller and Old Cochise Jim Hardy, Jim Bowie and Sugarfoot They all have gun, they all will travel Give me back my boots and saddle Mm hmm, my baby loves the Western movies My baby loves the Western movies Mm hmm, my baby loves the Western movies Here's the story of the certain Wagon Train McCord ? A broken arrow has broken my heart Jefferson Thomas hit the sled till it's gone Untied my baby and the fight was won Mm hmm, my baby loves the Western movies My baby loves the Western movies Mm hmm, my baby loves the Western movies My baby loves the Western movies
