Little Long-Haired Outlaw (1992)

Well I have been a cowboy, dang near all my life
That good ol' cowboy music, is all I’m supposed to like
But here lately I don’t know what’s happening
But I’m losin' control, I’m losin' control
To a little longhaired outlaw
Who’s a ridin' somewhere deep down in my soul,
He likes rock and roll
Well he rides a pinto stallion
Down the canyons of my mind
Makes camp beneath a memory
Below the timberline
Got a little electric fender guitar
Plugs direct into my soul
Right into my soul
Turns up the volume
Bends them guitar strings
And plays that rock and roll
Ah and here he goes
Well I can be do a concert
Strummin' along just fine
Playing Little Joe The Wrangler
When somethin' snaps inside my mind
And I can feel that longhaired music
Wellin' up from the rivers of my soul
Where the music flows
When that little longhair takes over
And makes me play that rock and roll
Now if you like cowboy music
And you don’t like this song
Well I’d like to apologize
If the tune kinda came out wrong
But you see I can’t help myself
The little longhair has got control
And he won’t let go But I’ll get back to my cowboy music
But sometimes you gotta play a little rock and roll
It’s my turn, it’s about time
