	This is an alternate version of the same song that appears on the "Skiffle" CD. This song differs from the original release, as it contains a lead harmonica instead of the lead acoustic guitar. It is scheduled for CD release, in the near future, with other alternate versions of Johnny Z's songs, as well as a few new tunes.

	Story Behind the Song Johnny Z composed this song on piano, in 1979, though no piano was ever used in any of the commercially released versions of the song. Lyrics A COWBOY TUNE Not long ago, he thought he understood Why the world would sometimes be unkind He did everything they said he should But, who could’ve known what he would find A cowboy’s life was all that he would need Blue sky and an endless highway Things, he heard would always set him free Now, they’re thoughts that he just isn’t buying And he’ll sing a cowboy tune Laugh at jokes a little soon, tease the ladies Yes, he’ll greet the with a smile And then talk a little while, forget their faces And he tells you, “there’s nothing that he can’t do” He just keeps on singing his cowboy tune He’ll think of a love that he once had Or, of ladies he’s met in smokey bar rooms No, things hadn’t turned out like he planned Those plans, they seem to fade a little too soon And he’ll sing a cowboy tune Laugh at jokes a little soon, tease the ladies Yes, he’ll greet the with a smile And then talk a little while, forget their faces And he tells you, “there’s nothing that he can’t do” He just keeps on singing his cowboy tune At night, alone, he’ll lay awake for hours Just wishing there was someone by his side He knows a cowboy’s life is no bed of flowers But, why should cowboys hurt so much inside? And he’ll sing a cowboy tune Laugh at jokes a little soon, tease the ladies Yes, he’ll greet the with a smile And then talk a little while, forget their faces And he tells you, “there’s nothing that he can’t do” He just keeps on singing his cowboy tune words and music by Johnny Stephen Zawacki written November 12, 1979 - Ann Arbor, Michigan � 1980 Johnny Stephen Zawacki � 2001 Piano Street Music (BMI)
