Lefty Frizzell - Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy

In his cowboy boots rhinestone suits and flashy guitars
He makes the rounds to the bars in town
Trying to be a hillbilly star
He'll sing all night if you treat him right
Buy him a beer or two
So let the honky tonk stardust cowboy sing to you

He sings the country tunes of by gone days
Faded love san antone rose i love you a thousand ways
No matter what may be your request
He'll sing it loud and do his best
Oh let the honky tonk stardust cowboy keep on sing-ing

Sometimes in his mind a dream unwinds for he's called to fame
Of brighter lights shine in his eyes
While he's singing on that opry stage
Oh but life goes on you'll find him home
With a dream that turned out wrong
But the honky tonk stardust cowboy sings his song
