lyrics

Well it’s quite the club you’re runnin’ here at your cowboy rendezvous of crotchety old cowpokes in their high top custom boots/ From another day and age before fences lined the plains/ With windy tales and cowboy poems, enough to drive a man insane

And you say there ain’t no place here for a cryin’ steel guitar/ Or songs about honky tonk or a cowboy’s broken heart, from another day and age when rich men bought the West/ Songs of young men hangin’ on just trying to do their very best

And you say I ain’t a cowboy sir, well then you tell me what is/ Could it be that times have changed the way a cowboy works and lives?/ So it’s alright if you don’t invite me to your cowboy rendezvous/ But let me remind you that Chris LeDoux was a cowboy singer too

You got a bonafied western litmus test for who’s cowboy and who ain’t/ Like a Sunday preacher deciding who’s a sinner and who’s saint/ All puffered up and proud in your bright silk paisley rag/ Could it be a mere coincidence that you forgot to cut the price tag?

And you say I ain’t a cowboy sir, well then you tell me what is/ Could it be that times have changed the way a cowboy works and lives?/So it’s alright if you don’t invite me to your cowboy rendezvous/ But let me remind you that Chris LeDoux was a cowboy singer too

Well son, we’re real glad to get your application to perform at our cowboy festival/ But this year we’ve decided that we’re only gonna have real cowboys at our event/ Now we’ll keep you on file, but in the meantime you might wanna go peal a bronc’ or two/ You know, get some horse manure on those square-toed boots of yours

Well I was four feet in the saddle when I was six years young/ On the back of my uncle’s ranch horse, he was as wise as he was strong/ He said just stay in the saddle son and he’ll take care of you/ ‘cause passing down the West, that’s what an old hand’s supposed to do

And you say I ain’t a cowboy sir, well then you tell me what is/ Could it be that times have changed the way cowboys work and live?/ So it’s alright if you don’t invite me to your cowboy rendezvous/ But let me remind you that Chris LeDoux was a cowboy singer too

Let me remind you that old Chris LeDoux, God bless him, he was a cowboy legend too
