Whiskey rollin’ cowboy

[intro musical solo] [harmonica-driven solo] [Verse 1] I was ridin' through Texas, feelin’ real fine, Till my horse ran off and left me behind. Just me and my whiskey, no water in sight, Guess I’m rollin’ this barrel till I find me some light. [Chorus] Oh, I’m a whiskey rollin’ cowboy, rollin’ all day, Like a dung beetle pushin’, in the sand I sway. Take a little sip, gettin’ lighter on my feet, But the sun’s burnin’ hotter than a devil’s seat! [Verse 2] Well, the buzz set in, and my mind got loose, I saw a mirage—it was a duck in a noose. Tipped my hat and said, “Howdy, you doin’ alright?” That duck just quacked, then took off in flight! [Chorus] Oh, I’m a whiskey rollin’ cowboy, wobbly and free, Sweatin’ out liquor like a cactus tree. Take a little sip, then I fall on my face, Sand in my britches—Lord, this ain't the place! [Bridge] By sundown I was woozy, feet draggin’ slow, Talkin’ to a cactus like an old rodeo. Tipped back my barrel, but oh what a curse, More whiskey than water—now my thirst got worse! [Verse 3] Well, the sheriff done found me, laid in the sand, Said, “Son, you alright?” I waved my hand. “Sheriff,” I slurred, “I ain’t quite dead, But my liver’s in trouble and so’s my head!” [Final Chorus] Oh, I’m a whiskey rollin’ cowboy, learned my mistake, Whiskey’s real fine, but it don’t hydrate. So if you're lost in the desert, don’t be a fool, Trade that whiskey for water—or you’ll look like a mule! [harmonica-driven solo] [fade to end] [end]
