"Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other" lyrics - ORVILLE PECK

[Verse 1: Orville Peck]
Well, there's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas
There's many a young boy who feels things he can't comprehend
And a small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes
No, a small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men

[Verse 2: Willie Nelson]
And I believe to my soul that inside every man, there's the feminine
And inside every lady, there's a deep manly voice loud and clear
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he's done with his women
But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer

[Chorus: Orville Peck & Willie Nelson, Orville Peck]
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother
And inside every cowboy, there's a lady that'd love to slip out

[Verse 3: Orville Peck]
And there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead
So when you talk to a cowboy, don't treat him like he was a sister
You can't fuck with a lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head

[Chorus: Orville Peck & Willie Nelson, Orville Peck]
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother
And inside every lady, there's a cowboy who'd love to come out
And inside every cowboy, there's a lady who'd love to slip out
