clark mortensen songs
Bill sent me these cool lyrics and said see what ya can do with these, so being the nice guy that I am (NOT) I totally screwed them up for him--I thought I had a local singer that was going to sing it but he flaked on me so I had to do it--:(
Why are singers and musicians FLAKEY?? As soon as vocal transplants are available I am signing up for one--I PROMISE!!--so use your ear plugs.
Bill, thanks for putting up with my FLAKEYNESS (is that a word)
A LITTLE BIT COWBOY
Bill Osofsky/Clark A. Mortensen
He voted for Dukakis--Things were once that bad
When he was young and way too smart--To listen to his dad
It took him thirty years back East--To find out who he is
The notions that his friends all had--Were not the same as his
'Cause he could look at right and wrong--And know they're not the same
And if he smokes a cigarette--There's no one else to blame
He's a little bit cowboy--But there's still a ways to go
The city's in his manner--But the country's in his soul
And he wouldn't trade the Rockies--For a million miles of beach
Couldn't be happier that he's--A little bit cowboy
Now there's blue skies out his window--And deer run through his yard
He worried that he wouldn't fit in--It hasn't been that hard
He's not real good with horses yet--But he likes those lizard boots
They let him buy a gun out here--That he's learnin' how to shoot
Now he wakes up every morning--To the country songs he loves
And he falls asleep in bed at night--Readin' Lonesome Dove
(repeat chorus)
He's given up the German cars, Martini bars , and Oprah's show
For dirt road mud and longneck Buds and rodeo
(repeat chorus)
