[Intro] [Bright acoustic guitar, steel drums, island percussion, warm country bass] [Verse 1] I traded in my pickup for a boat out on the bay Left my troubles back in Georgia, let the tide take me away Got a straw hat on my head and a cold drink in my hand Never thought I’d find my heaven on a little stretch of sand [Pre-Chorus] There’s a steel drum playing And a steel guitar I may be a long way from home But I know where the good times are [Chorus] I’m a Calypso Cowboy, ridin’ on the tide With a little country in my heart and an island on my mind Got a six-string rhythm and a Caribbean sway I’m a Calypso Cowboy, and I’m here to stay Hey now, hey now, let the good times roll Calypso rhythm with a country soul [Verse 2] There’s a pretty island girl who says she likes my style Says my Southern drawl can make her stay a little while She can teach me all the dances, I can teach her how to two-step We can watch the sun go down and see what happens next [Pre-Chorus] There’s a steel drum playing And a steel guitar I may be a long way from home But I know where the good times are [Chorus] I’m a Calypso Cowboy, ridin’ on the tide With a little country in my heart and an island on my mind Got a six-string rhythm and a Caribbean sway I’m a Calypso Cowboy, and I’m here to stay Hey now, hey now, let the good times roll Calypso rhythm with a country soul [Bridge] [Steel drums trade licks with electric slide guitar] Well, I still love my country And I still love my home But there’s something ‘bout these islands That keeps me from movin’ on [Final Chorus] I’m a Calypso Cowboy, ridin’ on the tide With a little country in my heart and an island on my mind Got a six-string rhythm and a Caribbean sway I’m a Calypso Cowboy, and I’m here to stay Hey now, hey now, let the good times roll Calypso rhythm with a country soul [Outro] [Steel drums and slide guitar trade playful licks] Calypso Cowboy! Yee-haw and hey now!
