Rock 'n Roll In A Cowboy Hat

(album: Country Way Of Life - 1995)

They're kicking up their heels in a pub downtown
Guitars are screaming and beers are going round
Lights are flashing blue, yellow, green and red
"Move baby move," that's what the singer said

"Country playing now," said a sign across the door
A blonde in a miniskirt screaming out for more
They're saying that it's country, hey what about that
It's just rock 'n roll in a cowboy hat

Sidestepped a drunk who was moving through the crowd
Saying to myself that the band's too loud
Went up to the bar and ordered scotch and coke
Thinking that the price was a damn bad joke

Yeah, "Country playing now," said a sign across the door
A blonde in a miniskirt screaming out for more
They're saying that it's country, hey what about that
It's just rock 'n roll in a cowboy hat
(Hey!)

Linedance and scooting and rock and roll and swing
Other folks stepping out any damn thing
I downed my drink and I headed for the door
This old balladeer can't take any more

"Country playing now," said a sign across the door
A blonde in a miniskirt screaming out for more
They're saying that it's country, hey what about that
It's just rock 'n roll in a cowboy hat

"Country playing now," said a sign across the door
A blonde in a miniskirt screaming out for more
They're saying that it's country, hey what about that
It's just rock 'n roll in a cowboy hat

They're saying that it's country, hey what about that
Well, it's just rock 'n roll in an old Akubra hat
(Yeah!)
