PROMPTuesday #113: Sing Me a Cowboy Song

San Diego Momma's PrompTuesday #113:


Howdy pardners!* It’s country western song day here at PROMPTuesday! Write me some lonesome lyrics that would make a bull’s balls swell.


You got it! -- Cocktail Maven


Rye whiskey
Sloshes on the bar
He’s had too much, maybe
Imploding like a star
His eyes are dim, hazy
He chews on a cigar
And wonders
How’s he get that girl out of his head?


Cryin’ ain’t no use and workin hard just makes him sore.
Quiet Sunday evenin’s, well they make him miss her more.
Poker night at Johnny’s house? Aw hell, that guy’s a bore.
He’d rather be here passed out on the floor.

Lost weekend
Beneath a prairie moon
She makes him laugh, again
Singin’ some old tune
About a gal cheatin’
Who knew it would come true?
He wonders
How’s he get that girl out of his head?


Cryin’ ain’t no use . . . etc.

Days, ranchin’
Chasin’ after steer
And every night, drinkin’
Whiskey chased with beer
He still can’t stop thinkin’
She’s gonna reappear.
He’s never
Gonna get that girl out of his head.


Cryin’ ain’t no use . . . etc.

May as well lie here passed out on the floor.
