Midnight Cowboy Lyrics
[Intro]
Strummin' on this old guitar
Books piled up, near and far
[Verse 1]
In a suit and tie, he walks the halls
Legal terms, and courtroom calls
But deep down in his heart there's a rodeo
Where wild horses run and cool rivers flow
He dreams of saddles instead of desks
Wide open skies, the wild, the West
But every morning he's case bound
In a high rise, not on horse ground
[Chorus]
Oh, he's a midnight cowboy, in his law books lost
Dreamin' of the prairies, no matter the cost
Hat down low, with a briefcase in tow
A law student by day, by night ready to go
[Verse 2]
Contracts and casеs fill his mind
But it's the lonesome prairiе that he pines
A simpler life on dusty trails
Where justice is a horse and never fails
Strummin' on this old guitar
Books piled up, near and far
[Verse 1]
In a suit and tie, he walks the halls
Legal terms, and courtroom calls
But deep down in his heart there's a rodeo
Where wild horses run and cool rivers flow
He dreams of saddles instead of desks
Wide open skies, the wild, the West
But every morning he's case bound
In a high rise, not on horse ground
[Chorus]
Oh, he's a midnight cowboy, in his law books lost
Dreamin' of the prairies, no matter the cost
Hat down low, with a briefcase in tow
A law student by day, by night ready to go
[Verse 2]
Contracts and casеs fill his mind
But it's the lonesome prairiе that he pines
A simpler life on dusty trails
Where justice is a horse and never fails
Coffee for fuel, in a steaming cup
As he saddles up his dreams when the sun goes up
He's penning motions with a cowboy's soul
Wishing rodeos were the way he'd roll
[Pre-Chorus]
Under the stars, he finds his peace
In dreams where the wild west never ceased
Each statute that he reads by day
In his heart a cowboy song does play
[Chorus]
Oh, he's a midnight cowboy, in his law books lost
Dreamin' of the prairies, no matter the cost
Hat down low, with a briefcase in tow
A law student by day, by night ready to go
[Bridge]
So here's to the dreams that we chase in the night
May God show the way to the cowboy life
Strummin' on this old guitar
Dream big, son, you'll be a star
[Chorus]
Oh, he's a midnight cowboy, in his law books lost
Dreamin' of the prairies, no matter the cost
Hat down low, with a briefcase in tow
A law student by day, by night ready to go
As he saddles up his dreams when the sun goes up
He's penning motions with a cowboy's soul
Wishing rodeos were the way he'd roll
[Pre-Chorus]
Under the stars, he finds his peace
In dreams where the wild west never ceased
Each statute that he reads by day
In his heart a cowboy song does play
[Chorus]
Oh, he's a midnight cowboy, in his law books lost
Dreamin' of the prairies, no matter the cost
Hat down low, with a briefcase in tow
A law student by day, by night ready to go
[Bridge]
So here's to the dreams that we chase in the night
May God show the way to the cowboy life
Strummin' on this old guitar
Dream big, son, you'll be a star
[Chorus]
Oh, he's a midnight cowboy, in his law books lost
Dreamin' of the prairies, no matter the cost
Hat down low, with a briefcase in tow
A law student by day, by night ready to go
Oh, he's a midnight cowboy, in his law books lost
Dreamin' of the prairies, no matter the cost
Hat down low, with a briefcase in tow
A law student by day, by night ready to go
Oh, he's a midnight cowboy, in his law books lost
Dreamin' of the prairies, no matter the cost
Hat down low, with a briefcase in tow
A law student by day, by night ready to go
Dreamin' of the prairies, no matter the cost
Hat down low, with a briefcase in tow
A law student by day, by night ready to go
Oh, he's a midnight cowboy, in his law books lost
Dreamin' of the prairies, no matter the cost
Hat down low, with a briefcase in tow
A law student by day, by night ready to go
