Punk in a Cowboy Hat

Liner Notes

#country #acousticonetake
I’ll be darned if I didn’t write another country song. I tried to pick up on the current meme complaining about musicians who buy an outfit and, with no other qualifications, try to pass themselves off as country singers.

Lyrics

My girl grew up in Vienna
From Tulsa that’s a 12-hour flight
Now she’s the new country singer
So she can go out to the clubs at night
She is learning finger picking
I know she doesn’t mean any harm
But who does she think she is kidding
About life down on the farm
I’m taking a poll on Instagram
To find out if she is really all that
Country girl
Or a punk in a cowboy hat
La la la la la la la la
Country girl
Or a punk in a cowboy hat

I took my girl out to the country
We kicked up dust on the road
There was no reason in sight to worry
She saw how the raspberries grow
We walked down to the river
We saw the view from the top of a hill
She said I feel like I’m always running
When the truth of life is standing still
I mean why try so hard to work like a horse
When you’re already a cat
Country girl
Or a punk in a cowboy hat
La la la la la la la la
Country girl
Or a punk in a cowboy hat

My girl borrowed my Ovation
So she could get plugged into the boards
She didn’t need a big explanation
To play a song with only three chords
She sang the song about sunshine
But she got the crowd on their feet
With the old song from Vienna
About the nasty boys on the street
Maybe it’s not about where you’re from
So much as being where you’re at
Country girl
Or a punk in a cowboy hat
La la la la la la la la
Country girl
Or a punk in a cowboy hat
La la la la la la la la
Country girl
Or a punk in a cowboy hat
