Lyrics
I Make A Better Cowboy .....copyright 2013 Tony Annunziata
Vs1
When I was younger lightning and thunder was running through my veins
Mama said son grow-up be someone, and leave this home on the range
I went to college, got me some knowledge, and loved some city girls
But they drive me crazy, and I'm thinking maybe I don't belong, in this world
Vs2
This here Mercedes is just like the ladies requiring lots of cash
And now every morning I wake with a longing, to kick myself in the ass
So mama tell papa I'm gonna exchange the car and the college degree
For a horse and a saddle some ponies and cattle, and a home on the prairie
Chorus
I make a better cowboy riding hard against the wind
Get along little doggies, and don't you fence me in
I need to find a cowgirl who's not afraid to ride
Underneath the moonlight, and the starry skies
Vs3
I miss old R.J.'s and Saturday Nights, and Texas Barbecue
Dipping my bread in a heavenly spread, of Sally's Brunswick stew
Western swing music how we would lose it we were promenading fools
Till the night fades away and R.J. would say who said this wasn't cool
Chorus
I make a better cowboy riding hard against the wind
Get along little doggies and don't you fence me in
I need to find a cowgirl who's not afraid to ride
Underneath the moonlight and the starry skies
Bridge
I spent some time in heaven and spent some time in hell, and I'm going home to Texas, I'm here to tell
Chorus
I make a better cowboy riding hard against the wind
Get along little doggies and don't you fence me in
I need to find a cowgirl who's not afraid to ride
Underneath the moonlight and the starry skies
