This is the return of the blues cowboy
Well, well, howdy
I'm in from prairie area 59
Been travelin' with the ghosts of the aliens
You know from deep down inside the mind of time
You can dig it, that radioactive rock bass
You'll hear the wail of the blues cowboy every time
And every flicker of grand you can find
Well, well, I'll tell
Nobody was pleased to see him back
When he kicked in the snug saloon door
All he did, he misjudged a swing
And he kicked himself onto the floor
Yeah, there sure was a mixed reception
To the comeback of the blues cowboy
From way out of, from way above 1944
44, 44, Ooh
Oh, man, oh, man
But now somehow
These blues are on the streets
And old Chicago can't you know
Cool past door
Oh, I've seen the alley swing with
Guitar swingers
Who just don't want
To swing no more
Don't hold your breath, baby
But it's the return of the blues cowboy
From way before 1944
You can pick up the rock bass, baby
You'll find a bead of sweat in every pore
Blues cowboy
