I just completed writing this song in honor of and in dedication to THE greatest living country singer today --- Mr. George Jones. It is my utmost wish that you enjoy it.
COWBOY MAN
(T. Beechey)
There are songs about broken hearts and songs sung of denial,
Where the pain runs so very deep that it steals away the smile,
There are also songs about the pain which goes right to the bone,
But they're just songs,yours is real --- each one is your own
Sing me a story,cowboy man --- no one else would ever do,
When I hear a heartfelt melody,I know it came from you
There's such a meaning in your voice,I really have no other choice
But to listen to your every word...cowboy man,you've been heard
There's been more than a time or two when I've lost the will to cope
And found myself dangling at the very end of my rope
With nowhere left to turn and run and,when I thought it was said and done,
One of your songs pulled me through...if George can make it,I can too!
Sing me a story,cowboy man --- separate the truths from lies
Show me just what is real even as tears fall from my eyes,
Each verse reflects a part of me,the songs you sing make me see
Just who I am and why I'm here...cowboy man,loud and clear
(Instrumental Break)
Sing me a story,cowboy man --- take me along the ride
The one you've taken many times,don't leave anything to hide
Open your heart and bear your soul,a lesser man would have paid the toll
Long ago but you remain...cowboy man,share my pain
I can only pray that,if someday,I'm along those very trails
That you've crisscrossed and I get lost and cast against the rails
If only an ounce of your strength is mine,I know I'll get along just fine
And go on to see another day just like you and that's why I say:
Sing me a story,cowboy man --- I know you've one to tell
Where most have fallen,you have risen and took each landing well,
Somehow always on your feet,yours is still a story to complete,
The final chapter's still unknown...cowboy man,sing me home.
