                                                            -
There's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas;
There's many a young boy who feels things he don't comprehend.
                                                             -
Well small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes,
No, small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.

                                                                 -
Well I believe in my soul that inside every man there's a feminine,
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear.
                                                              -
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he does 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 
What did you think those saddles and boots was about?
There's many a cowboy who don't understand 
                                           -
the way that he feels towards his brother,
Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.

                                                               -
Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie,
And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night.
                                                     -
Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies,
But I'll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight:

                                                -
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other 
That's why they wear leather, and Levi's and belts buckled tight.
There's many a cowboy who don't understand 
                                           -
the way that he feels towards his brother;
There's many a cowboy who's more like a lady at night.

                                                                -
Well there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper,
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead:
                                                           -
When you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister
Don't mess with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head.

                                                -
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other 
Even though they take speed and drive pickups and shoot their big guns;
There's many a cowboy who don't understand 
                                           -
the way that he feels towards his brother;
                                                       (arpeggio)          
There's many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he's done.
