The Cowboy

Johnny Rodriguez

[Verse 1]
I'm the cowboy that came here from Texas
Just to play you my music that’s all
My long shaggy hair and the clothes that I wear
Ain't fit for no big fancy ball

[Chorus]
But the cowboys they still come to see me
And the hippies all gather around
When I sing of my life in this city
With boots in a small Texas town

[Verse 2]
That white collar crowd may be stealing
Anything that the law will allow
With a pen for a gun they can't have no fun
'Cause they don’t fit in our crazy crowd

[Chorus]
But the cowboys they still come to see me
And the hippies all gather around
When I sing of my life in this city
With boots in a small Texas town
Yeah the cowboys they still come to see me
And the hippies all gather around
When I sing of my life in this city
With boots in a small Texas town
But the cowboys they still come to see me
And the hippies all gather around
When I sing of my life in this city
With boots in a small Texas town
