lyrics

It’ s long days and it’s sweaty days and sitting on my ass
It’s fifteen hundred head of steer and chowing on dry grass
It’s a shot of rye for breakfast and it’s coffee you can chew
Heading north to Abiline and far away from you
In every pokey cow town the bars of full of beer
And girls dressed up for cow herd’s eyes remind me you’re not here
A man needs easy company and I can tell no lie
I take the hospitality but I won’t look them in the eye....

Been scratching out this trail and I’ve been itching on my seat
been wishing for another drop to cut this dusty heat
they’re keen and they are dirty and in every drinking dive
they’ll bare their souls for 20 cents and fuck for 55
now in every pokey cow town these girls all look the same
and when they turn around you know this cowboy can’t be blamed
I miss your gentle kisses, but I can tell no lie
though I take them up the back stairs I won’t look them in the eye

Turn the cowgirl round it’s not the side I want to see
I want to see the shining sun when she sits down on me
Got drinking whiskey early and now I’m warm inside
But there ain’t enough to drink for me to look her in the eyes

The trail went on without me; they’ve left me here for dead
There’s a burning in my entrails and a banging in my head
There are knives stuck through my kidneys, hot lead is what I piss
It’s the whores who dress like cowgirls that made me feel like this
Now in every pokey cow town the girls extract a price
And some they take your spare change; some they take your life
Now I’ll not be returning, my love, for here I lie
‘cos I took what they were giving, but I never looked into their eyes

Turn the cowgirl round it’s not the side I want to see
I want to see the shining sun when she sits down on me
Got drinking whiskey early and now I’m warm inside
But there ain’t enough to drink for me to look her in the eyes

Turn the cowgirl round it’s not the side I want to see
I want to see the shining sun when she sits down on me
Got drinking whiskey early and now I’m warm inside
But there ain’t enough to drink for me to look her in the eyes
