  • I played Texas, beer joints and rodeos
    Big D arenas, truck stops, casinos
    Sang in every dive and joint in Oklahoma
    Did hard time in a few in Arizona
    Been in every hole-in-the wall from Memphis to Maine

    Out here rocking, rolling
    Mixing up the fast with the slow ones
    Living, breathing
    Songs about loving and leaving
    Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand
    Why I'm a singer in a cowboy band

    I got a guitar banged up as I am
    Hit every bar from Buffalo to Cheyenne
    I got an outlaw five piece combo
    I got a tattoo says 'Vaquero'
    I dance with the devil, live on one-night stands

    Out here rocking, rolling
    Mixing up the fast with the slow ones
    Living, breathing
    Songs about loving and leaving
    Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand
    Why I'm a singer in a cowboy

    Sometimes I stop, I go to reminiscing
    What it is that I'm out here missing?
    How a blue-eyed boy in church on Sunday
    Be raised so right then go the other way
    I'll be here 'til the good Lord calls me home

    Oh, I'll be rocking, rolling
    Mixing up the fast with the slow ones
    Living, breathing
    Songs about loving and leaving
    Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand
    Why I'm a singer in a cowboy band Writer/s: CRAIG WISEMAN, RONNIE DUNN
