Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other - Willie Nelson

Well, there’s many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas

There’s many a young boy who feels things he can’t comprehend

And a small town don’t like it when somebody falls between sexes

No, a small town don’t like it when a cowboy has feelings for men

And I believe to my soul that inside every man there’s the feminine

And inside every lady there’s a deep manly voice loud and clear

Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he’s done with his women

But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other

Say, what do you think all them saddles and boots was about?

And there’s many a cowboy who don’t understand the way that he feels for his

brother

And inside every cowboy there’s a lady that’d love to slip out

And there’s always somebody who says what the others just whisper

And mostly that someone’s the first one to get shot down dead

So when you talk to a cowboy don’t treat him like he was a sister

You can’t fuck with a lady that’s sleepin' in each cowboy’s head

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other

What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?

And there’s many a cowboy who don’t understand the way that he feels for his

brother

And inside every lady there’s a cowboy who wants to come out

And inside every cowboy there’s a lady that’d love to slip out
