They Couldn't Understand My Cowboy Songs Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

I left home with a suitcase, my songs and my guitar 

Headed down to Nashville gonna try to be a star 

The Nashville folks they made me feel like I was right at home 

But they couldn't understand my cowboy songs 

They said son you've got potential 

And we'd like to see you stay 

But you've gotta change your style 

'Cause cowboy songs don't sell these days 

I tried my hand at cheatin' heart and cryin' in my beer 

And I think about home and wonder what am I doin' here 

But I'd really like to thank y'all for your hospitality 

You know I really mean it, you've been mighty good to me 

But this ol' country boy 

Ain't where he's suppose to be 

And this Wyoming cowboy 

Don't belong in Nashville Tennessee 

Well, there's just too many miles and styles between us I suppose 

The kind of songs I'm singin' won't fit in down here I know 

I kind of got the feeling it was time to move along 

When Ed Bruce sang 'The last cowboy song' 

So I'm going back to the country where the west is still alive 

Where cowboy's ride the prairie and the mountains touch the sky 

I pack up my old guitar and I'll be on my way 

But before I go I'd just like to say 

Well, I'd really like to thank 

Well, this Wyoming cowboy 

Don't belong in Nashville Tennessee
