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 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
