Hippies & Cowboys (Alt Take)

lyrics

Well I started on the whiskey pretty early this morning
That’s alright, I was up all night
But I passed out before the sun came up
I really wanted to see one of those

I know that’s no way for a man to behave
With a mortgage due and a baby on the way
But somehow I made it to where I’m at
It’s been a living as a matter of fact

I get a bad attitude from being tired and running ‘round
I never ask for anyone to say they like my sound
I’ve never been a part of any bullshit scene
No, I ain’t just talkin’ Nashville, if you know what I mean?

They don’t write about me in their magazines
I don’t ask for no reviews on no songs that I sing
No, I’ve never had a lot of friends and I’m alright by that
But people keep on comin’ back

Raisin’ Hell with the hippies and the cowboys
They don’t care about no trends
The don’t care about songs that sell
Yeah, tomorrow i’ll be gone
so tonight everybody just sing along
Raisin’ Hell with the hippies and the cowboys

I’ve been standin’ on the outside for all of my life
And I like the view, I’m not gonna lie
The yuppies and the hipsters
And the wannabe scenes
You know that ain’t down home to me

Well, I like two dollar beers, I like three dollar wells
In some old honky-tonk bar that I know by the smell
Some old drunk on a bar stool on a Merle Haggard tune
That’s my kind of room

Raisin’ Hell with the hippies and the cowboys
They don’t care about no trends
The don’t care about songs that sell
Yeah, tomorrow i’ll be gone
so tonight everybody just sing along
Raisin’ Hell with the hippies and the cowboys

Raisin’ Hell with the hippies and the cowboys
They don’t care about no trends
The don’t care about songs that sell
Yeah, tomorrow i’ll be gone
so tonight everybody just sing along
Raisin’ Hell with the hippies and the cowboys
And I’ll be raisin’ Hell with the hippies and the cowboys
