{Intro:}
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
