Cowboy Singer Lyrics - Singles - Lucy Kaplansky

Seventeen years she has been in this world 

Wide-eyed and wistful, pretty little mormon girl 

She don't know I'm wicked, and she don't know I'm old 

Sweet Jesus forgive me but she gets in my soul 

'Cause she believes in the future and the family tree 

And she thinks there's a little spark of good left in me 

And she comes to my door 'cause she thinks I can bring her 

The glamorous life of a cowboy singer 

I rise from my bed to her hand at the bell 

I look like the devil and I'm feelin' like hell 

But she don't seem to notice and she steps right inside 

For to sing me the song that she made up last night 

And her voice is shining with the moon and the stars 

And she plays so unspoiled on that two-bit guitar 

Singin' love and tomorrow and thank the redeemer 

And I doom and anoint her a cowboy singer 

Alone in my room when she leaves me again 

I stare at the wall and see death closin' in 

But I like to imagine I will meet her someday 

In a land at the end of this lonesome highway 

In a fine high country where the best songs are sung 

And the labels don't care if you're old or you're young 

And the martins are cheaper, and the pastures are greener 

And all of the angels are cowboy singers 

Yes, and all of the angels are cowboy singers
