[Verse 1]
The legs on the lady a walkin'
Was tanned to a dark berry brown
Her body was made like a song to be played
To the tune of a million a pound
She was a wonder of a woman I reckon
And she's who screwed her head on right
The toast of the world was a long legged girl
And the cowboy who started the fight

[Spoken]
He'd just pulled into town in an old green 1953 Chevrlet pickup truck with whiskey bumbs all over it and the right front fender falling off
He coasted on into a no parking zone, got out and took the keys and
Chucked 'em down a gutter, turned around and just walked off

[Verse 2]
He allowed how his time had been wasted
On drinking and running around
He spend half his life searchin' barrooms at night
For the sweetheart that he never found
It was plain from the moment their eyes met
They'd wind up in each others arms
The lady's young life was laid open that night
And the cowboy drank deep of her charms

[Chorus]
Singing hey-h-ide-he from the depths of the sea
To the mountains so hollering high
He'd found the best one under God's given sun
Yeah the cowboy got lucky tonight
[Verse 3]
While the angel beside him lay sleeping
He silently thanked God above
For being a kind hearted father
And blessing his life with her love
For one night of love with that woman
Was more than he knew he deserved
So he found all he had left worth givin'
And he gave all he had left for her

[Verse 4]
He slid back inside his ole Wranglers
And filled up his boots with his feet
While the subways beneath New York City
Screamed through the veins of the street
Yeah, the lady gave up without question
The trophy she saved all her life
Then she curled up beside his old weather worn hide
When the cowboy just laid down and died

[Chorus]
Hey-hi-de-he when a whoop through the street
As his soul slowly winged out of sight
The lady left home for the child bein' born
And the cowboy found heaven that night
