Lyrics
Calypso Cowboy
Words and music by Gary Lee Morris
He doesn't wear leather boots or ride on a horse
He likes to play golf and sing,that's par for the course
A six-shooter's not his bag,a silver star he don't wear
But put on a Waylon song and you can pick him out anywhere
Calypso Cowboy,taking it easy and making love
It's not a prairie he's dreaming of,he'll settle for his place in the sun
Calypso Cowboy,he don't wear spurs and don't carry a gun
That's not his idea of having fun,but up his sleeve's a trick or two
He doesn't drink whisky much,he don't drive a Ford
He likes to stay home at night,but he's never bored
He'll tell you a tale or two,he'll spin you a yarn
He don't smoke that funny stuff,but he's got it growin' out in the barn
Calypso Cowboy,taking it easy and making love
It's not a prairie he's dreaming of,he'll settle for his place in the sun
Calypso Cowboy,he don't wear spurs and don't carry a gun
That's not his idea of having fun,but up his sleeve's a trick or two
He doesn't wear leather boots or ride on a horse
He doesn't drink whisky much,he don't drive a Ford
He'll tell you a tale or two,he'll spin you a yarn
He don't smoke that funny stuff,but he's got it growin' out in the barn
