"Cowboy Pride" lyrics
"Cowboy Pride"
Well, I'm writing you this letter
And it's a long time overdue
You're thinkin' "Just mind your own business"
I wouldn't blame you if you do
You know our range is gettin' smaller
Hear you're all busted up inside
But it ain't the Broncos that'll kill you
It's just that damned old cowboy pride
Cowboy pride can always get a man through
But cowboy pride will make a fool of you
Good women are hard to find
I'm talkin' about the faithful kind
I hear you're running with that waitress
And she's under age and wild
You know your wife's the best there is, fella
Would you move in with that child?
She stuck with you through the hard times
Think of all the nights she cried
Will she be another victim
Of that same old cowboy pride
Guess it's time to close my letter
It's just somethin' that I had to do
You know I made the same mistake once
Before she fell in love with you
So go home to your wife and family
It's time to put the past aside
So you don't end up like me now
Nothin' left but cowboy pride
Cowboy pride can always get a man through
But cowboy pride will make a fool of you
Good women are hard to find
I'm talkin' about the faithful kind
Don't end up like me now
With nothin' left but cowboy pride

He's goin' playin' when he should be prayin' for luck

But tonight he'll forget all...

Ned LeDoux - "We Ain't Got It All" Well I drive a rusty pick up truck
Full of post and old barbed wire
It's held together with hopes and dreams
Rolls on football tires
Well I owe my soul to the savings and loans
But I'm a happy man...
Mel Tillis - "Southern Rains" Sometimes my soul gets weary and my mind begins to wonder
And like that old train "The Hummingbird" it goes to Alabam
They say home is where the heart is and mine is down in Dixie
And when you go...
