In his cowboy boots rhinestone suits and flashy guitars He makes the rounds to the bars in town Trying to be a hillbilly star He'll sing all night if you treat him right Buy him a beer or two So let the honky tonk stardust cowboy sing to you He sings the country tunes of by gone days Faded love san antone rose i love you a thousand ways No matter what may be your request He'll sing it loud and do his best Oh let the honky tonk stardust cowboy keep on sing-ing Sometimes in his mind a dream unwinds for he's called to fame Of brighter lights shine in his eyes While he's singing on that opry stage Oh but life goes on you'll find him home With a dream that turned out wrong But the honky tonk stardust cowboy sings his song
