The Cowboy And The Lady

This song was first released on the some days are diamonds album. it is the only album it has been released on.





In the airport lounge she sat in a marlena dietrich hat

The grandest lady i had ever seen

Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes

So i asked her if she'd like some company



In my rhinestone studded suit, my cowboy hat and boots

I must have been a sight for her to see

But she said, "pull up a chair," as she fumbled with her hair

A more unlikely pair you'll never see



I was mogen david wine, she was chablis fifty-nine

But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady

She was evenings at the opera and summers in paree

I was grand ole opry, nashville, tennessee



The cowboy and the lady

As diff'rent as could be

But it seemed so right that rainy night

In tennessee



Then somewhere in between her harey's bristol creme

And the seven beers i ordered for the lady

We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather

Now there's a bit of class in this old cowboy

And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady



The cowboy and the lady

As diff'rent as could be

But it seemed so right that rainy night

In tennessee



We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather

Now there's a bit of class in this old cowboy

And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady
