Cowboys Like It That Way Track

Cowboys Like It That Way (Larry W. Jones 10/14/2006) (song#4064)
I’ve written country songs and I’ve been around
To all the honky tonks filled with country sounds
I’ve seen ’em dance to about every country style
But what is it that really makes a cowboy smile
|
A cowboy likes sad songs about cowgirls’ goodbyes
Those old broken hearted songs with tear filled eyes
A cowboy likes sad songs about the one that got away
That’s why I write sad songs, cowboys like it that way
|
The honky tonks fill up early at the end of day
They stay late just to hear the songs I write played
They don’t know how I feel inside, cryin’ over you
They just smile and tell me write another one or two
|
A cowboy likes sad songs about cowgirls’ goodbyes
Those old broken hearted songs with tear filled eyes
A cowboy likes sad songs about the one that got away
That’s why I write sad songs, cowboys like it that way
|
The bartender, he told me, things sure are goin’ well
Then he smiled at me and I think that he could tell
The songs I write are the ones that made the grade
Sad as they are, about cowboys that have paid
|
A cowboy likes sad songs about cowgirls’ goodbyes
Those old broken hearted songs with tear filled eyes
A cowboy likes sad songs about the one that got away
That’s why I write sad songs, cowboys like it that way
