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
