One month on the road will leave you wonderin'
How any man could ever want for more?
But three months on the road will leave you stumblin'
Fallin' through another hotel door
Throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn
Haven't put boot heel to belly since can't remember when
And I'll sing you all the songs of my workin' cowboy kin
Then it's back to throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn
Highwayside grazin' herd of cattle
Folks 'round here pulled in a decent yield
A view best taken in from the saddle
I'm starin' through this dirty, cracked windshield
Throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn
Haven't put boot heel to belly since can't remember when
And I'll sing you all the songs of my workin' cowboy kin
Then it's back to throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn
If I'm paid well, a tale I'll tell and sing
And I seldom pay a cent for my drinks
Folks in here tonight, they think I'm a king
I'd trade it all for a double-rigged saddle and a good pair of chinks
Throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn
Haven't put boot heel to belly since can't remember when
And I'll sing you all the songs of my workin' cowboy kin
Then it's back to throwin' houlihans at the Holiday Inn
Then it's back to throwin' houlies at the Holiday Inn
