The Cowboy And The Lady Lyrics - Denver John

In the airport lounge she sat, in a fancy feathered hat 

The grandest lady I had ever seen 

Outside the heavy rain had grounded all the planes 

So I asked her if she'd like some company 

In my rhinestone studded suit, my cowboy hat and boots 

I must have been a sight for her to see 

But she said, "pull up a chair" as she fumbled with her hair 

A more unlikely pair you'll never see 

I was Mogen David wine, she was Chablis '59 

But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady 

She was evenings at the opera, and summers in Paree 

I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee 

The cowboy and the lady, as different as could be 

But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee 

And somewhere in between her Harvey's Bristol Cream 

And the beer I drank and the easy company 

We somehow came together, for a night of stormy weather 

Now there's a little bit of class in this old cowboy 

There's a little bit of cowboy in the lady 

The cowboy and the lady, as different as could be 

But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee
