let s all help the cowboys

Waylon Jennings

Cowboys they are ladies men all right they'll love 'em up and talk 'em up all night
But they're lonely when there's nothing else to do
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
He does a little Shakespeare and he sings he plays the mandolin and other things
He looks for love beauty and IQ and that's what makes the cowboy sing the blues
Cowboys have to fall in love get hurt and all that bit
Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit
So ladies if they ask you don't refuse let's all help the cowboys sing the blues
[ guitar ]
Cowboys they don't ever understand this thing between a woman and a man
Until they find the one they always lose
That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
A cowboy takes his lonely pen in hand and tries to make somebody understand
But she has ears to hear a different tune
And that's what makes the cowboy sing the blues
Cowboys have to fall in love...
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues
