I'm a Cowboy Too

(Tom T. Hall)



I'm a cowboy too, I got to wear local shoes

I have to wear a tie and when I wear my hat it makes the baby cry

I'm a station wagon champ, I'm a king of summer camps

I love what I do but I'm a cowboy too.



I can't go out at night, get in the barroom fights

If I ever lost my clue, they'd make me tell it all in the Sunday school

Well, my horse would't feel at home, my neighborhood is zoned

Some say it ain't true but I'm a cowboy too.



I'm a cowboy too, hey, you ouhta taste my barbecue

If you ever heard me pickin' guitar

Well, you would explain he oughta be a star

I'm in love with my wife, I'm in love with my life

I sometimes get the blues 'cause I'm a cowboy too.



I could drive a pickup truck if I had six thousand bucks

I had cowboy boots before but they left marks on the kitchen floor

I'm gettin' trouble wearin' a hat and the beer just makes me fat

Well, my kids are buckaroos and I'm a cowboy too.



I'm a country music fan, I buy every tape I can

The man down where I work

Said the beer and the hair make me look like a jerk

Well, my wife don't understand, she's a Willie and Waylon fan

I got some people fooled, oh, but I'm a cowboy too...
