Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other – Live at the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, CA – April 3, 2023 Orville Peck

[Verse 1]
Well, there's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas
There's many a young boy who feels things he can't comprehend
And a small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes
No, a small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men

[Verse 2]
But I believe to my soul that inside every man is the feminine
And inside every lady there's a big manly voice loud and clear
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he's done with his women
But thе ones who brag loudest are thе ones that are most likely queer

[Chorus]
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
Say, what do you think all them saddles and boots was about?
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother
And inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out
Let's let 'em slip out, shall we?

[Verse 3]
There's always somebody who says what the others just whisper
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead
So when you talk to a cowboy, don't treat him like he was your sister
You can't fuck with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head

[Chorus]
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother
And inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to come out
And inside every lady there's a cowboy who'd love to come out
Thank you very much!
