Paul Overstreet - Still Out There Swinging lyrics

rate me

(Paul Overstreet)

Today I met an old friend I asked about an old friend

That I used to know when I knew her

She said that she never sees him anymore

After all the cruel things he did to her

She heard through the grapevine that he didn't care

She started suspecting he didn't play fair.

So she gave him enough rope to hang himself

Now he's still out there swinging

He's all over town he can always be found

Anywhere there's a cowgirl singing.

She said that she hoped he might change but she don't

I think that thought has ever entered into his thinking

She gave him enough rope to hang himself

Now he's still out there swinging.

--- Instrumental ---

She said don't feel sorry for me I got over him

And I've found somebody new

It's someone I love and I trust more than ever

That somebody's loving me too

She said now I'm happy I said I can tell

She said it feels like she was let out of jail.

When she gave him enough rope to hang himself

Now he's still out there swinging

He's all over town he can always be found

Anywhere there's a cowgirl singing.

Yes, she gave him enough rope to hang himself

Now he's still out there swinging...
