The Cowboy Heart

Let's talk real . . .

But I'll be lookin' for eight

When they pull that gate

George Strait, Amarillo By Morning

And nice guys get washed away like the snow in the rain

There's been a load of compromising

On the road to my horizon

Glen Campbell, Rhinestone Cowboy

And a country boy is all I'll ever be

Now it's been twelve years since I sold my soul

To the devil in L.A.

Aaron Lewis, Country Boy

We came from the West Virginia coal mines

And the Rocky Mountains, and the western skies

And we can skin a buck, we can run a trotline

And a country boy can survive

Hank Williams, Jr., A Country Boy Can Survive

I guess it's 'cause the truth

Is the hardest thing I ever faced

'Cause you can't change the truth

In the slightest way I tried

Johnny Paycheck, The Old Violin

This suit and this tie, is just a disguise

This ain't really me

Some people are born to be tied down

Some people are born to be free

Waylon Jennings, Drinkin’ and Dreamin’

I read about some squirrely guy who claims he just don't believe in fightin'

An' I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on bein' free

They love our milk an' honey, but they preach about some other way of livin'

Merle Haggard, The Fightin’ Side Of Me

I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be

So, what do you do with good ole boys like me?

Don Williams, Good Ole Boys Like Me

A poor girl wants to marry

And a rich girl wants to flirt

A rich man goes to college

And a poor man goes to work

A drunkard wants another drink of wine

And a politician wants your vote

The Charlie Daniels Band, Long-Haired Country Boy

Now, when the world's spinning round, too fast for me,

And I need a place to dream.

So I come to your banks, I sit in your shade

Relive the memories

Charley Pride, Roll On Mississippi

I'm travelin' down the road and I'm flirtin' with disaster

I got the pedal to the floor and my life is runnin' faster

I'm out of money, out of hope, it looks like self destruction

Well, how much more can we take with all of this corruption

We're flirtin' with disaster, ya'll know what I mean

Molly Hatchet, Flirtin’ with Disaster
