They Couldn't Understand My Cowboy Songs

I left home with a suitcase my songs and my guitar Headed down to Nashville gonna try to be a star The Nashville folks they made me feel like I was right at home But they couldn't understand my cowboy songs They said son you've got potential and we'd like to see you stay But you've gotta change your style cause cowboy songs don't sell these days I tried my hand at cheatin' heart and cryin' in my beer And I think about home and wonder what am I doin' here But I'd really like to thank ya'll for your hospitality You know I really mean it you've been mighty good to me But this ol country boy ain't where he's suppose to be And this Wyoming cowboy don't belong in Nashville Tennessee Well there's just too many miles and styles between us I suppose The kind of songs I'm singin' won't fit in down here I know I kind of got the feeling it was time to move along When Ed Bruce sang The Last Cowboy Song So I'm going back to the country where the west is still alive Where cowboy's ride the prairie and the mountains touch the sky I pack up my old guitar and I'll be on my way But before I go I'd just like to say Well I'd really like to thank... Well this Wyoming cowboy don't belong in Nashville Tennessee
