They Couldn't Understand My Cowboy Songs

I left home with a suitcase my songs and my guitar

Headed down to Nashville gonna try to be a star

The Nashville folks they made me feel like I was right at home

But they couldn't understand my cowboy songs

They said son you've got potential and we'd like to see you stay

But you've gotta change your style cause cowboy songs don't sell these days

I tried my hand at cheatin' heart and cryin' in my beer

And I think about home and wonder what am I doin' here

But I'd really like to thank ya'll for your hospitality

You know I really mean it you've been mighty good to me

But this ol country boy ain't where he's suppose to be

And this Wyoming cowboy don't belong in Nashville Tennessee

Well there's just too many miles and styles between us I suppose

The kind of songs I'm singin' won't fit in down here I know

I kind of got the feeling it was time to move along

When Ed Bruce sang The Last Cowboy Song

So I'm going back to the country where the west is still alive

Where cowboy's ride the prairie and the mountains touch the sky

I pack up my old guitar and I'll be on my way

But before I go I'd just like to say

Well I'd really like to thank...

Well this Wyoming cowboy don't belong in Nashville Tennessee
