Bobs - Barber Lips lyrics

rate me

I am a lonesome hombre<br />

I spend my time driving my truck around town on Saturdays<br />

I moved here from the city<br />

I thought that maybe<br />

All of my luck would change here in Boomtown<br />

But it seems my face is wrong<br />

I don't fit in<br />

'Cause I don't have<br />

Cowboy, cowboy, cowboy lips, <br />

Cowboy, cowboy, cowboy lips ...<br />

<br />

Cowboy lips are all right, all right by me<br />

Strap me on a pair of lips and I'll leave you be<br />

High in the saddle, my Chapstick in hand<br />

Through snow and wind and rain and sleet and sand,<br />

Cowboy Land...<br />

<br />

When I'm with all my buddies<br />

My snakeskin boots and my belt buckles shine<br />

But they won't talk to me<br />

Even when I know their song I'm in the wrong key<br />

'Cause I don't have<br />

Cowboy, cowboy, cowboy lips, <br />

Cowboy, cowboy, cowboy lips ...<br />

<br />

Cowboy lips are all right, all right by me<br />

Jack Palance has got a sneer that's collagen-free<br />

If I had his mustache I'd wax up the tips<br />

To keep it off my cowboy lips, cowboy lips<br />

<br />

When I'm out honky-tonkin'<br />

I smoke my Marlboros with the filters off<br />

It makes me cough<br />

I can stomach Lone Star Beer<br />

But not shots of rye<br />

Rye can only get by<br />

Cowboy, cowboy, cowboy lips, <br />

Cowboy, cowboy, cowboy lips ...<br />

<br />

Cowboy lips are all right, all right by me<br />

Painted, pierced and puckered are for sissies, you see (I likes 'em)<br />

Weathered and blistered and kissed by her brand<br />

The kind of lips they wear in Cowboy-- <br />

(way up there in Cowboy--)<br />

Lots of facial hair in Cowboy Lannnnnnnd ...<br />

(Here in Cowboy Land!)<br />

<br />

[called "Barber Lips" on album "Coaster" 2002 because it is sung in Barbershop style;<br />

shorter version titled "Cowboy Lips" on "The Bobs" 1982]
