COWBOYS DON'T GET LUCKY ALL THE TIME
(Dallas Harms)


Gene Watson - 1977





He met her in a honky tonk singin' country songs that he wrote
She sat at a table listenin' to his music and drinkin' coke
Well he sat down beside her and said, "Honey, what's your name?"
She said, "I like your music, sir, but foolin' round is certainaly not my game"

When the small talk was over, the cowboy drank his beer and took her home
Lust on his mind, in the bedroom he had her all alone
And when the night was over the cowboy shook his head
'Cause she slept on the sofa and the cowboy slept alone on his bed

(Instrumental Break)

She still sees the cowboy on the country shows and sometimes on TV
He phones her up and talks to her long distance from wherever he might be
He'll ask her how she's doin', she'll reply by sayin', "Oh, just fine"
And the moral of this story is cowboys don't get lucky all the time
And the moral of this story is cowboys don't get lucky all the time
