Cowgirl & the Dandy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the airport lounge, he sat with his cane and derby hat
The grandest man that I had ever seen
Outside, the heavy rains had grounded all the planes
So I asked him if he'd like some company
In my rhinestone-studded suit and my cowgirl high-heeled boots
I must have been a sight for him to see
But he said, "Pull up a chair" as I fumbled with my hair
A more unlikely pair you'll never see

[Chorus]
I was Mogen David wine, he was Chablis '59
But there we sat, the cowgirl and the dandy
He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paris
I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee
The cowgirl and the dandy as different as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee

[Verse 2]
Then somewhere in between his Harvey's Bristol cream
And the beer that I kept sippin' at his table
We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather
Now there's a little bit of class in this old cabin
And there's a little bit of country in the dandy

[Chorus]
The cowgirl and the dandy, as different as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee
I was Mogen David wine, he was Chablis '59
But there we sat, the cowgirl and the dandy
He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paris
I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee
He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paris
I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
