Lyrics
Let The Cowboy Dance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He ain't been right, since she's been gone
He's been known to tie one on
Glass could break and chairs could fly
We best keep him occupied
chorus:
Let the cowboy dance, let him dance all night
Maybe he won't fuss, maybe he won't fight
It's our only hope, it's our only chance
Clear the floor boys, and let the cowboy dance
Let him kick up his heels, or he'll kick down the doors
Give him lots of room, when he hits the floor
If he asks to dance with your wife
Let her go boys, and save your life
Repeat chorus
Instrumental break
Music calms the savage beast
He's a big old boy, at the very least
He'll get over her someday
Until then, stay outta his way
Repeat chorus
Clear the floor boys, and let the cowboy dance
