Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboy

(albüm: Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboy - 1972)

In his cowboy boots and rhinestone suits, flashy guitar
He makes the rounds of the bars and towns, end up be a hillbilly star
He'll play all night if you treat him right, buy him a beer or two
So let the honky tonk stardust cowboy sing to you

He sings the country tunes of bygone days
Faded Love, San Antone Rose, and I Love You a Thousand Ways
No matter what you request
He'll sing it loud and do his best
So let the honky tonk stardust cowboy keep on singing

Sometimes in his mind a dream unwinds where he's called to fame
Brighter lights, they shine in his eyes as he's up there, singing on the Opry stage
Though the life goes on, so you'll find him home with a dream that turned out wrong
Still the honky tonk stardust cowboy sings his song

He sings the country tunes of bygone days
Faded Love, San Antone Rose, and I Love You a Thousand Ways
No matter what maybe you request
He'll sing it loud and do his best
So let the honky tonk stardust cowboy keep on singing
