I wrote it a while back, based on a true story. I performed it a few times but never recorded it. It's on Soundclick now. Please give it a listen and let me know what you think.
It still needs some final polish, but still have a listen if you dare.
Continental Cowboy
Well I'm a cowboy in New York
I know I look like a dork
missing teeth, when I smile,
at you
I'm bald a little fat
and it's a Kmart cowboy hat
but this story, I'm gonna tell you,
it's all true
You may think it's a line
but my sister she's dyin'
and I'm here to turn off
life support
Now they've delayed my flight
Thought I'd ask you if you might
do me here
at the George Bush Airport
Chorus:
Hey you got a nice rack
and some junk in the trunk
I know I don't stand a chance
if I don't get you drunk
you know my life just sucks
but you can make it all right
Won't you let me
Be your cowboy
tonight
'cause my dog he just died
that tore me up inside
and my best friend ran away
with Louise
My trucks repossessed
my kids under arrest
I'd feel better, if you were down
on your knees
I ain't got long to live
so if you'd be sensitive
and think of my needs
before yours
I swear I ain't contagious
so if you'd just be courageous
and let me do while you're down
on all fours
Chorus:
Hey you got a nice rack
and some junk in the trunk
I know I don't stand a chance
if I don't get you drunk
you know my life is so sad
but you can make it all right
Won't you come and be my cowgirl tonight
Now I'm a little angry
Cause you should stopped me
when I started
and not wasted my time
If I had know then
that you were a lesbian
I wouldn't a used
All my best pickup lines
cause there's a girl over there
with the two tone blonde hair
and the seat next to her
well it's free
If she's had enough to drink
she may not know what to think
you never know
she might even believe me
Chorus:
Hey you got a nice rack
and some junk in the trunk
I know I don't stand a chance
if I don't get you drunk
you know my life is so sad
but you can make it all right
Won't you let me be your cowboy
tonight
Won't you be
My little doggie
tonight
love the attitude of the song - very cheeky!
what effect to you use to get that "country guitar tone"??

it works, Nick.
-=tension & release=-
Amusingly bawdy
Humorously naughty
Vulgarly splendid
But I'm not offended
You've sung worse
Coarseness in verse
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
nice tune and recording! Love your site as well. Take care,
dale
Nice one Nick! :twisted:
