Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other

There’s many a strange impulse out on the plains of west Texas

There’s many a young boy who feels things he can’t comprehend 

Well, a small town don’t like it when somebody falls between sexes

No, a small town don’t like it when a cowboy has feelin’s for men

Well, I believe in my soul that inside every man there’s a feminine

And inside every lady, there's a deep, manly voice loud and clear

Well a cowboy may brag about things that he’s done with his women

But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer

Cowboys are frequently, secretly fond of each other

Say, what did you think all them saddles and boots was about?

There’s many a cowboy who don’t understand the way that he feels for his brother

And inside every cowboy, there’s a lady who’d love to slip out

(Laughing)

Hey, she gets it!

Come over here, give me a kiss!

(Laughing)

Ah, shut up!

Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie

And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night

Well, cowboys are famous for gettin’ riled up about fairies

But I’ll tell you the reason a big, strong man gets so uptight

Cowboys are frequently, secretly fond of each other

That’s why they wear leather and Levis and belts buckled tight

There’s many a cowboy who don’t understand the way that he feels for his brother

And there’s many a cowboy who’s more like a lady at night

There’s always somebody who says what the others just whisper 

And mostly that someone’s the first one to get shot down dead

When you talk to a cowboy, don’t treat him like he was a sister 

Can’t fuck with the lady that’s sleepin’ in each cowboy’s head 

Cowboys are frequently, secretly fond of each other

That’s why they take speed and drive pick ups and shoot their big guns

And there’s many a cowboy who don’t understand the way that he feels for his brother 

And there’s many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he’s done

Yes, there’s many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he’s done
