歌曲歌詞
The legs on the lady a walking
Was tanned to a dark berry brown
Her body was made like
a song to be played
To the tune of a million a pound
She was a wonder of a woman I reckon
And she's who screwed her head on right
The toast of the world
was a long legged girl
And the cowboy who started the fight
He'd just pulled into town
in an old green 1953 Chevrlet
pickup truck with whiskey bumbs
all over it and the right
front fender falling off
He coasted on into a no parking zone
got out and took the keys
and chunked em down a gutter
turned around and just walked off
He allowed how his time had been wasted
On drinking and running around
He spend half his life
searching barrooms at night
For the sweetheart that he never found
It was plain from
the moment their eyes met
They'd wind up in each others arms
The lady's young life
was laid open that night
And the cowboy drank deep
from of her charms
Singing hey-h-ide-he from
the depths of the sea
To the mountains so hollering high
I've found the best one under
God's given sun
Yeah the cowboy got lucky tonight
While the angel beside him lay sleeping
He silently thanked God above
For being a kind hearted father
And blessing his life with her love
For one night of love with that woman
Was more than he knew he deserved
So he found all he had left worth giving
And he gave all he had left for her
He slid back inside his ole Levi's
And filled up his boots with his feet
While the subways
beneath New York City
Screamed through the veins of the street
For the lady gave up without question
The trophy she saved all her life
Then she curled up beside
His old weather worn hide
And the cowboy just laid down and died
Hey-hi-de-he when a whoop
through the street
As his soul slowly winged out of sight
The lady was torn from
the child being born
And the cowboy found heaven that night
The lady was torn from
the child being born
And the cowboy found heaven that night
