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 5-piece combo I got a tattoo says, "Vaquero" I dance with the devil, live on one-night stands But I'm 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 Sometimes I stop, I go to reminiscin' What it is that I'm out here missin' 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 Oh, 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
