All Around Cowboy Lyrics - Singles - Waylon Jennings

(Jack Wesley Routh - Len Pollard) 

Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck 

Been through the best of his friends 

On a long lonesome highway in an old pickup truck. 

Crossed Texas like a hot dusty wind 

He was all around cowboy back in1949 

From the top it's been long way down. 

Since the whiskey and the women 

Started winnin' his time 

They rode him high and hard to the ground 

He remembers the thrill of bein' a winner 

In the days of his first rodeo.

But there's somethin' about winning 

That didn't last forever 

Maybe tomorrow things'll get better 

If devil lets loose of his soul 

He'll be, be the all around cowboy again.

So he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow 

Wipes the whiskers that cover his chin 

And he grins as he dreams of old rodeo 

He's the all around cowboy again. 

He remembers the thrill of bein' a winner 

In the days of his first rodeo...
