Lyrics
A COWBOY?S SONG copyright 2007 Ronnie Presley
VERSE:
Billy?s gettin? nervous again
He?s goin? out with his old friends
Come the mornin? barely sees the sun rise
A bottle of jack on the nightstand
In a dream he?s in the moment
A song is ringin? in his head
Now it?s playin? in the speakers
A cowboy?s song over the bleachers
He says he never wants to hear it again
It?s the one about a heartache
It?s the one about a mistake
You can hear it in a cowboy?s song
CHORUS:
Listen to the radio
On the way to the rodeo
You hear about it in a cowboy?s song
Drivin? down the enterstate
Cowboy up, and ride like Lane
Dust and leather, crawlin? off of that gate
You can hear it in a cowboy?s song.
SOLO:------4-BARS------------------------------------------------
VERSE:
Now he?s goin? off the deep end
Ridin? Bruizer in the bull pen
Yeh he?s living out the cowboy?s song
It?s the one about a mistake
It?s the one about his heartbreak
The PBR he?ll get that buckle again
CHORUS:
Listen to the radio
Comin? home from the rodeo
You?ll hear about him in a cowboy?s song
Drivin? down the enterstate
Out of the Shoot, he?ll never make 8
Another dream, he?ll be ridin? thru? those pearly gates
You?ll hear about him in a cowboy?s song.
Yeh, you can hear it-------
Yeh, you can hear it
Now you can hear it
Hear about him in a cowboy?s song
Yeh I can hear it
All his troubles, you can hear it----
Hear about him in a cowboy?s song------------------------.
His song----------------------------------A cowboy?s song.
