Klamath Cowboys

Lyrics

Verse 1
Klamath Falls
Got me fallin’
Down that dark hole of a bar
Neon’s hummin’ on the plywood wall
But I ain’t stayin’ long so far
Boots on a rail
Hat brim low
Watchin’ that door like a scar

Chorus
We Klamath cowboys
We deal with no bullshit by far
Just a chew in my lip and a country heart
Spit it in a dust pan
Laughin’ at the pain and the scars
I’m a Klamath cowboy
Leanin’ heavy on this bar

Verse 2
Smoke ring halo
Over pool-cue saints
Lost a paycheck and my car
Old man pickin’ out a lonesome tune
While she counts tips in a jar
Road-worn knuckles
Holdin’ tight
Round this chipped-mouth Mason jar

Chorus
We Klamath cowboys
We deal with no bullshit by far
Just a chew in my lip and a country heart
Spit it in a dust pan
Laughin’ at the pain and the scars
I’m a Klamath cowboy
Leanin’ heavy on this bar

Bridge
If I sink any deeper
Just toss me a rope
Or a lie I can almost believe
‘Cause this town’s got teeth
And it don’t let go
But my saddle’s still waitin’ on me (hey!)

Chorus
We Klamath cowboys
We deal with no bullshit by far
Just a chew in my lip and a country heart
Spit it in a dust pan
Laughin’ at the pain and the scars
I’m a Klamath cowboy
Leavin’ sober from this bar
