The Cowboy and the Lady

In the airport lounge she sat in a fancy feather hat

The grandest lady I have ever seen

Outside the heavy rains 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 Mogan David wine, she was Chablis fifty-nine

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.

Then somewhere in between her Harvey's Bristol Creme

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 ole 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.

We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather

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

There's a little bit of cowboy in the lady.
