I've lived the life of a hired hand
I've lived the life of a working man
I've lived the life of a gypsy too
And I have lived the life of a drinker fool

I've got a weakness for them ole swayback horses
Pretty girls and fine guitars
Antique cars and cowboy bars

Well these hands they build mansions
And they build cow stanchions
I've rode 'em a mile, a few
And I have laid them down on a bale or two

I've got a weakness for them ole swayback horses
Pretty girls and fine guitars
Antique cars and cowboy bars

These hand ride the rough stock
Punch post holes through hard rock
No they won't never be cruel to you
There's certain things they just won't do
These hands ride the cell block
Peel coyotes and tie pack knots
They'll pick an ole guitar too
And that ain't all they'll do
I've got a weakness for them ole swayback horses
Pretty girls and fine guitars
Antique cars and cowboy bars

Well it's a long way from over
I see a field of four leaf clovers
Money's always come hard for me
But that won't always be

I've got a weakness for them ole swayback horses
Pretty girls and fine guitars
Antique cars and cowboy bars
Pretty girls and fine guitars
Antique cars and cowboy bars
Yeah
