Lyrics
Cowboys and Vermouth
I never seem to make the right choice.
I never listen to the right voice.
Every turn I take is dead wrong.
I just keep rollin? along.
I blow through life?s intersections.
I never stop to ask directions.
On a road to I don?t know where
Through a life of heartbreak and despair.
Chorus
When I was young I had big dreams.
Tears have melted them it seems.
I?ve wasted all my youth
On cowboys and vermouth.
Musical Break
And I?m not blamin? anyone.
I paid the price for havin? fun.
I don?t know when all this will end
Or how much love I?ve left to spend.
Bridge
George was fast, and Alan easy.
Kenny was a little sleazy.
Never realized what it cost,
?Til all my faith and hope were lost.
I?d settle for my dignity
A moment of serenity.
Wonder if there?s much left
I can use to reinvent myself.
Chorus
