Cowboy Killer Lyrics

You're the real thing

Big boots and diamond rings

Hypnotical legs

You said what up babe

You pulled up right

The only cowboy for miles

800 degrees

In your mirror ball gaze

You used to say

On the open road today

There are no shortcuts or heartaches

You used to say

On the open road today

There are no free rides or one ways

Our route was a rubber band

Figure eight across the land

Once again the wanderer

Is back where he began

Stare into the fire

A natural way to get high

You burned your tie

I prayed for rain

You used to say

On the open road today

There are no strangers or runaways

With your head hung low

Suit case atrophy

You're a renaissance man

With wine stained teeth

It's a hard memory

So you order one more

In your rumpled suit

With the green velveteen

Looking at the window for a sign

And it's gone

But the idea stays with you

And you let it hang on

Cause you still believe

You're cowboy king

Do you order one more

You say let's double your tip money

But you never ever do

Who would drive to the casino

I won't drive you to the casino at this time

You leave the scene

With your rumple suit on

We see the same sun

And the hair of dog

Take a half a day off

It's a joke

You never told
