Lyrics Michael Martin Murphey

Michael Martin Murphey

Let The Cowboy Dance

He ain't been right since she's been gone

He's been known to tie one on

Glass could break and chairs could fly

So we best keep him occupied

Let the cowboy dance, let him dance all night

Maybe he won't fuss, maybe he won't fight

It's our only hope, it's our only chance

Clear the floor boys and let the cowboy dance

Let him kick up his heels or he'll kick down doors

Give him lots of room when he hits the floor

If he asks to dance with your wife

Let her go, boy and save your life

Let the cowboy dance, let him dance all night

Maybe he won't fuss, maybe he won't fight

It's our only hope, it's our only chance

Clear the floor boys and let the cowboy dance

Music calms the savage beast

He's a big old boy at the very least

He'll get over her someday

Until then stay outta his way

Let the cowboy dance, let him dance all night

Maybe he won't fuss, maybe he won't fight

It's our only hope, it's our only chance

Clear the floor boys and let the cowboy dance
