There's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas;
There's many a young boy who feels things he don't comprehend
Well small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes
No, small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men

Well I believe in my soul that inside every man there's a feminine
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he does with his women
But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other —
What did you think those saddles and boots was about?
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his
Brother
Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out

Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie
And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night
Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies
But I'll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight:

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other —
That's why they wear leather, and Levi's and belts buckled tight
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his
Brother;
There's many a cowboy who's more like a lady at night
Well there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead:
When you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister
Don't mess with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other —
Even though they take speed and drive pickups and shoot their big guns;
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his
Brother;
There's many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he's done
