Artist/Band: Waylon Jennings
Lyrics for Song: All Around Cowboy (v2)
Lyrics for Album: Mackintosh and T.J. [RCA Victor] [1976]



(Jack Wesley Routh - Len Pollard)



Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck

Been through the best of his friends

On a long lonesome highway in an old pickup truck.



Crossed Texas like a hot dusty wind

He was all around cowboy back in1949

From the top it's been long way down.



Since the whiskey and the women

Started winnin' his time

They rode him high and hard to the ground

He remembers the thrill of bein' a winner

In the days of his first rodeo.



But there's somethin' about winning

That didn't last forever

Maybe tomorrow things'll get better

If devil lets loose of his soul

He'll be, be the all around cowboy again.


All Around Cowboy (v2)

Waylon Jennings delivers a quintessential outlaw country performance on this re-recording of 'All Around Cowboy,' a staple of his discography that embodies the genre's signature blend of twang and storytelling. Released on the RCA Victor catalog in 1976 as part of the Mackintosh and T.J. album, the track showcases Jennings' signature vocal style, characterized by its gritty delivery and melodic phrasing that defined the 'Outlaw' movement of the late 1970s. The song serves as a poignant narrative piece, reflecting themes of rural life and resilience often explored in country music during this era. As a key track in Jennings' catalog, it remains a significant example of his ability to craft memorable melodies that resonate with the spirit of independent country music, standing alongside other notable works from his extensive body of work recorded for RCA Victor and later reissues.
