[Verse 1] I played Texas, beer joints and rodeos Big D arenas, truck stops, casinos Sang in every dive and joint in Oklahoma Did hard time in a few in Arizona Been in every hole-in-the wall from Memphis to Maine [Chorus] Out here rockin', rollin' Mixin' up the fast with the slow ones Livin', breathin' Songs about lovin' and leavin' Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand Why I'm a singer in a cowboy band [Verse 2] I got a guitar banged up as I am Hit every bar from Buffalo to Cheyenne I got an outlaw 5-piece combo I got a tattoo says 'Vaquero' I dance with the devil, live on one-night stands [Chorus]
Out here rockin', rollin' Mixing up the fast with the slow ones Livin', breathin' Songs about lovin' and leavin' Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand Why I'm a singer in a cowboy band [Verse 3] Sometimes I stop, I go to reminiscin' What it is that I'm out here missin'? How a blue-eyed boy in church on Sunday Be raised so right then go the other way I'll be here until the good Lord calls me home [Chorus] Out here rockin', rollin' Mixin' up the fast with the slow ones Livin', breathin' Songs about lovin' and leavin' Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand Why I'm a singer in a cowboy band
