Michael Martin Murphey - Let the Cowboy Dance lyrics

He ain't been right since she's been gone He's been known to tie one on Gla** could break and chairs could fly So we best keep him occupied Let the cowboy dance, let him dance all night Maybe he won't fuss, maybe he won't fight It's our only hope, it's our only chance Clear the floor boys and let the cowboy dance Let him kick up his heels or he'll kick down doors Give him lots of room when he hits the floor If he asks to dance with your wife Let her go, boy and save your life Let the cowboy dance, let him dance all night Maybe he won't fuss, maybe he won't fight It's our only hope, it's our only chance Clear the floor boys and let the cowboy dance Music calms the savage beast He's a big old boy at the very least He'll get over her someday Until then stay outta his way Let the cowboy dance, let him dance all night Maybe he won't fuss, maybe he won't fight It's our only hope, it's our only chance Clear the floor boys and let the cowboy dance
