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 cases fill his mind,
But it's the lonesome prairie 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.
[Bridge]
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 ni
[Slower Verse, Soft Instrumental]
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.
[Acapella Chorus, Vocals Only, Claps on Beat]
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.
[Final 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.
[Acapella Chorus, Vocals Only, Claps on Beat]
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.
[Final 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.
