Lyrics

She walked in from the rain
The neon lights showed her pain.
All those lights of red and blu-hoo
Showed that her heart was torn in two-hoo
She walked over to the jukebox,
Played George and George and Hank and Hank
Then she came and sat right near me,
Got double Dickel’s, drank ’em straigh-heyt.

I said, “I could not help but notice,
As she wiped away a tear.
kasdjhfkjasdfh
And maybe I could lend an ear.”
She turned and looked right through me
And said, “No, thank you kindly, dear.”
Then she nodded toward that jukebox
And said, “I think I got all I need right here.”

Chorus:
Unless you’re a singin’ country cowboy
Who sings them lonesome heartache blues.
Who knows the love of a woman
Whose heart’s been torn in two.
Unless you can sing about the Southland,
Guess you can saddle up and go.
Y’see I got a front row ticket
To a singin’ country cowboy show.

I walked out in the rain
Thinkin’ bout her hurt and pain.
How could I help her mend her blue-hoos?
“Heck, what have I got to loo-hoose?”
So, I walked over to my pickup
Pulled out my musty old guitar
I turned around and I said, “good luck.”
And I walked right straight back into that bar.

Chorus:
“You’re looking for a singin’ country cowboy”
And I said, “Honey, here I am!”
I know the love of a woman
Whose been done wrong by a man
I’ll sing a song about the Southland,
I’ll sing it sweet, and sad, and low
You see, you got a front row ticket
To a singin’ country cowboy show

The only sound was the rain.
She must have thought I was insane.
Here I was a sangin’ to-hoo
Some woman I had never knew-hoo.
She turned and looked right down through me
And slapped some moeny on the bar
And said, “I think I need a private showin’
Come on and don’t forget that ol’ guitar.”

Chorus:
“Cause I need a singin’ country cowboy
Who sings them lonesome heartache blues.
Who knows the love of a woman
Whose heart is torn in two
Sing me a song about the Southland
Sing it sweet and sad and low
Believe I got a front row ticket
To a singin’ country cowboy show

“You’re looking for a singin’ country cowboy”
And I said, “Honey, here I am!”
I know the love of a woman
Whose been done wrong by a man
I’ll sing a song about the Southland,
I’ll sing it sweet, and sad, and low
You see, you got a front row ticket
To a singin’ country cowboy show
