Radio Cowboy

I've been getting up at five
Every day of my life,
Used to rush to do chores,
Now all I do is drive
To the radio stations to sell my songs
Find some loyal listeners, try to turn 'em on

'Stead of riding my horse
Through long dusty days,
Now I'm all around the world,
Riding radio waves

This ain't a rodeo,
I ain't pullin' for first prize
But if you can hear my voice,
Then I've got your heart in my sights
I'll lay you low with the tale
Of a reckless outlaw runnin' wild,
'Cause ever since I kissed that saddle goodbye,
I've been a radio cowboy

Once I picked up that six string,
Nothing was the same
I know every highway out there
And every dj's name
Got a beautiful girl back home,
I know we're gonna make it somehow
I bet she's listenin' right now

This ain't a rodeo,
I ain't pullin' for first prize
But if you can hear my voice,
Then I've got your heart in my sights
I'll lay you low with the tale
Of a reckless outlaw runnin' wild,
'Cause ever since I kissed that saddle goodbye,
I've been a radio cowboy

Turn that dial, find some Merle and Waylon
You just might hear me right there with 'em
Johnny and June Willie and Trigger
Side by side with my heroes,
Comin' out of your speakers

This ain't a rodeo,
I ain't pullin' for first prize
But if you can hear my voice,
Then I've got your heart in my sights
I'll lay you low with the tale
Of a reckless outlaw runnin' wild,
'Cause ever since I kissed that saddle goodbye,
Yeah, ever since I kissed that saddle goodbye,
I've been a radio cowboy,
A radio cowboy,
A radio cowboy
