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 rockin', rollin' Mixin' up the fast with the slow ones Livin', breathin' Songs about lovin' and leavin' 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 I'm rockin', rollin' Mixin' up the fast with the slow ones Livin', breathin' Songs about lovin' and leavin' Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand Why i'm a singer In a cowboy band Sometimes i stop, i go to reminiscing 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 rockin', rollin' Mixin' up the fast with the slow ones Livin', breathin' Songs about lovin' and leavin' Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand Why i'm a singer In a cowboy band
