Calloused Lips
So quick to sentance us
For the verdict unjust jurys hold
Never given a fair trial
You rather watch an untrue story unfold
Errenous inexact information formed against us
And youve made a pact blaming us of acquiecence
When you could inquire in the facts
Call us the weeker species cuz we dont see eye to eye
Your mouths wide open and your eyes are shut
Youve got calloused lips from talking to much
Your mouths wide open and your eyes are shut
This is our soul and its not just a crutch
And now that the scales are weighed
And you think that weve got nothin to say
The masses line up to laugh and jest
They say theyll do it there own way
Call us the weaker species cuz we claim to have the truth
We recommend: (DO NOT)STAND IN THE SHADOWS
words and music by Jimmy Rodgers
Cattle prowl and the coyotes howl
Out on the Great Divide
Never done no wrong, just singin' a song
As down the trail I ride
Rattle snakes rattle at the prairie dogs
You can hear that mournful tune
'Cause it's round-up time, a-way out west
When the cactus is in bloom
Yodel...
CHORUS
Daylight comes and the cowhands yell
They call out every man
Throw my saddle on my old cow horse
I drink my coffee from a can
The sun goes down on the cattle trail
And I'm gazin' at the moon
'Cause it's round-up time, a-w
Cattle prowl and the coyotes howl
Out on the Great Divide
Never done no wrong, just singin' a song
As down the trail I ride
Rattle snakes rattle at the prairie dogs
You can hear that mournful tune
'Cause it's round-up time, a-way out west
When the cactus is in bloom
Yodel...
CHORUS
Daylight comes and the cowhands yell
They call out every man
Throw my saddle on my old cow horse
I drink my coffee from a can
The sun goes down on the cattle trail
And I'm gazin' at the moon
'Cause it's round-up time, a-w
