{Intro:} G
I leave these city lights
Ev'ry Friday and Saturday night
Back to this hole-in-the-wall
I still get that back home call
I left my ranch and now it's gone
I don't fit in but still I'm holdin' on
When I sit at the bar it suites me
Where's the cowboy I used to be
{Chorus:}
I ain't an Urban cowboy that don't understand
What it's like to live and work the land
So I sit here drinkin' and feelin' coy
Hey Hey look at me {tacet} I'm a Bourbon Cowboy
{Bridge:}
When you don't rope and you don't rustle and don't work the land
When you're all tied up in suites 'cause you're a business man
Drinkin' on the weekend at some honky-tonk that brings you joy
Fetch another round lay that bottle down on the counter boy
I'm a whiskey drinkin' self defeatin' boot wearin' corporate toy
Hey, Hey look at me {tacet} I'm a Bourbon Cowboy
I leave the honky-tonk after the fights
On my way back home I just sigh
I look in the mirror to see
The cowboy I used to be
Contrary to that poem
Sometimes you just can't go home
At least not to a place
That progress has stripped away
{CHORUS}
{CHORUS}
Hey, Hey look at me {tacet} I'm a Bourbon Cowboy
Have a drink with Me {tacet} I'm a Bourbon Cowboy
