Standard (EADGBE)

 I leave these city lights

 Ev'ry Friday and Saturday night

Back to this hole-in-the-wall

 I still get that back home call

 I left my ranch and now it's gone

 I don't fit in but still I'm holdin' on

 When I sit at the bar it suites me

 Where's the cowboy I used to be

  I ain't an Urban cowboy that don't understand

  What it's like to live and work the land

  So I sit here drinkin' and feelin' coy

  Hey Hey look at me

  I'm a Bourbon Cowboy

  When you don't rope and you don't rustle and don't work the land

  When you're all tied up in suites 'cause you're a business man

  Drinkin' on the weekend at some honky-tonk that brings you joy

  Fetch another round lay that bottle down on the counter boy

  I'm a whiskey drinkin' self defeatin' boot wearin' corporate toy

  Hey, Hey look at me

  I'm a Bourbon Cowboy

 I leave the honky-tonk after the fights

 On my way back home I just sigh

 I look in the mirror to see

 The cowboy I used to be

Contrary to that poem

 Sometimes you just can't go home

 At least not to a place

 That progress has stripped away

Hey, Hey look at me

  I'm a Bourbon Cowboy

Have a drink with Me

  I'm a Bourbon Cowboy
