Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly (Fond of Each Other) Songtext
von 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 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 lady, there's a cowboy that wants to come out
And inside every cowboy, there′s a lady that'd love to slip out
