Singer In a Cowboy Band

                                  I played Texas, beer joints and rodeos

Big D arenas, truck stops, casinos

Sang in every dive and joint in Oklahoma

Did hard time in a few in Arizona

Been in every hole-in-the wall from Memphis to Maine



Out here rocking, rolling

Mixing up the fast with the slow ones

Living, breathing

Songs about loving and leaving

Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand

Why I'm a singer in a cowboy band



I got a guitar banged up as I am

Hit every bar from Buffalo to Cheyenne

I got an outlaw five piece combo

I got a tattoo says 'Vaquero'

I dance with the devil, live on one-night stands



Out here rocking, rolling

Mixing up the fast with the slow ones

Living, breathing

Songs about loving and leaving

Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand

Why I'm a singer in a cowboy



Sometimes I stop, I go to reminiscing

What it is that I'm out here missing?

How a blue-eyed boy in church on Sunday

Be raised so right then go the other way

I'll be here 'til the good Lord calls me home



Oh, I'll be rocking, rolling

Mixing up the fast with the slow ones

Living, breathing

Songs about loving and leaving

Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand

Why I'm a singer in a cowboy band
