Well, I wake up in the mornin', I brew my coffee hot and strong
I get out my ole guitar, and try to write a song
An them larks are singin, oh Lord, just outside
And I'm stuck here in this kitchen tryin' to write
And I'm writin' these cowboy songs
Yodellehe, cowboy songs
Just me and my beat up ole guitar
Cowboy songs, yodellehe, cowboy songs
Well, maybe one of these cowboy songs
Is gonna make me a star
Now Hank Williams Jr. writes 'em rough, and sings 'em tough
And Charlie Daniels sings a song about the devil
And Waylon and Willie sing about
Whatever they like
And I'll probably be sing these cowboy songs
For the rest of my life
And I'm writin' these cowboy songs
Yodellehe, cowboy songs
Just me and my beat up ole guitar
Cowboy songs, yodellehe, cowboy songs
Well maybe one of these cowboy songs
Is gonna make me a star
Well this don't sound like Strawberry Row
Or that lonesome cattle call
And you might think that it don't sound nothin'
Like a cowboy song at all
But it is, 'cause I wrote it and I'm a real life buckaroo
And I wrote this silly little cowboy song, especially for you
Here it is, cowboy songs
Yodellehe, cowboy songs
Just me and my beat up ole guitar
Just a cowboy song, yodellehe, cowboys songs
Well, maybe one of these cowboy songs is gonna make me a star
