Dave Dudley - Counterfeit Cowboy lyrics

Was another beer drinkin' Friday afternnon at Jimmy's tavern This cowboy he came struttin' in with a big cigar in his mouth a total stranger Wore silver toed high heeled boots and a big old horseshoe diamond ring Hung his big white Stetson hat on the rack by the pinball machine He walked up to the bar ordered ten rolls of nickels and a Schlitz He handed Jim a fifty dollar bill from his big old fat money clip He walked over to the pinball and kicked the legs till she leveled up with that floor Dropped them nickels in till he had every odd and feature lit up on that board Cowboy had Jim's tavern lookin' like a pinball convention He politely asked for some breathin' room and never showed any signs of tension He fired three balls in a row sunk a lucky ten twelve and a deuce When we finished rollin' all that lead he was about four hundred bucks to the good Ol' Jim was countin' pennies but still come up about twelve dollars shy Cowboy said I'll just take a case of beer and let's let the rest of it slide He picked up that big white Stetson case of beer and he made it for the door I said hey cowboy if you're feelin' lucky let's shuffle one for fifty down that board Well Lucy was my good luck charm he didn't know it he let her toss that coin I gave cowboy the honors he called tails and naturally I won So I stepped aside and he laid a three for me to win it was gonna take a four Well I let it sail and Lucy smiled and I knew that puck was hangin' off the board Well it's another beer drinkin' Friday but Jimmy's tavern just ain't the same No Wager signs everywhere no shuffleboard and no pinball machines No Jim's checkin' every federal note with that looking gla** that he keeps in the till Since cowboy took us for a ride with this counterfeit fifty dollar bills Oh I bet that ring was made outta gla** and he's laughin' out his back pocket
