Me and some friends who We been buddies since Boca Raton Signed on a ship to Take a trip to old Taiwan Got as far as Siam Took it on the lamb Arrived in Hong Kong with all our money gone We joined up with a a gang when We found we couldn't go on
We still remain here Though we don't belong That's what they call us Cowboys In Hong Kong
The stakes were high tonight We're going to break on through We're hiding in the tall grass Waiting for our signal to move Our friends are inside They were beaten they were tied We've got to get them out Before they blow our cover wide Some say GI Joe's Mind wanders home Thinks about a girl left behind We're freedom fighters And so we say They like to tell us That anyway We still remain here Though we don't belong That's why they call us Cowboys in Hong Kong
There's a girl that he sees When he's feeling lonely She'll laugh and say - Ok Joe When they hold real tight In the dead of the night He'll pretend she's from Ohio Oh - I'm a cowboy in Hong Kong
We're freedom fighters And so we say They like to tell us That anyway We still remain here Though we don't belong That's why the call us Cowboys in Hong Kong
