21st Century Blues

I’m a relic of the past hangin’ hard and fast to the only life I know
Got my Manuel suit and handmade boots all dressed up with nowhere to go
Them radio DJ's ain’t playin’ my song and no one’s ever heard of me
Just trying to make a livin' as a cowboy singer in the 21st century

I’m rollin' down the road in my beat up Ford
I got a 50 dollar gig to play
I pass a Prevost with some Nashville hero
Rollin the other way
I’m headed West, he’s headed East and ne'er the twain shall meet
I’m trying to make a livin' as a cowboy singer in the 21st century

You wonder why do I yodel to the moon
He’s the only one who can understand this lonesome cowboy tune
They’re putting my name up in the Hall of Shame on the Wall of Obscurity
Just trying to make a livin as a cowboy singer in the 21st century

I’m a relic of the past hangin’ hard and fast to the only life I know
Got my Manuel suit and handmade boots all rigged out with nowhere to go
Them radio DJ's ain’t playin’ my song and no one’s ever heard of me
Just trying to make a livin' as a cowboy singer in the 21st century
