Lyrics
Half-Time Cowboy (Key of E)
There’s a half-time cowboy, his ranch is the town
from cobblestone to bar top’s, a real cowboy won’t be found
fine wine and scotch whiskey, served up neat
flowered twisted up bandana, and napkin on his seat
He’s a half-time cowboy, uses Texas tradition,
He swears by New York, he’s a half-time cowboy
The spit n’ polish pointed toe Lucchese, aren’t found on the ranch
a suitcase rancher, hasn’t laid a hand on steers in years
that’s right you’re not from texas, Lyle Lovett sang
sophistication bought at a price that most aren’t willing to pay
He’s a half-time cowboy, uses Texas tradition,
He swears by New York, he’s a half-time cowboy
Send’s praises to the oil well, and fortunate women that he meets
he’ll tell you about Loretta, and the diamonds that you see
there ain’t no cash in cattle, they ditched all their land
for some costly city livin’, from just a sip of Texas tea
He’s a half-time cowboy, uses Texas tradition,
He swears by New York, he’s a half-time cowboy
Tag
He’s a half-time, he’s a half-time, he’s a half-time cowboy
