matthew and the mandarins – singapore cowboy lyrics
[verse 1]
i was born half a world from nashville, tennessee
where all year long the summer breezes blow
and while my friends are flying kites and planting bonsai trees
i got high on country radio
it wasn’t long before a song was born inside my heart
and soon i started singing right along
an understanding uncle smiled and gave my first start
by listening to my shanghaied country songs
[chorus]
singapore cowboy, so far from my home
bright stars and guitars but none of my own
singapore cowboy, where do i belong?
won’t you sing a poor cowboy, another lonely song
[verse 2]
i sang my songs in singapore and crazy as it seems
a distant sh-r- kept calling after me
and ten years from my first guitar i gathered all my dreams
and here i am in nashville, tennessee
[chorus]
singapore cowboy, so far from my home
bright stars and guitars but none of my own
singapore cowboy, where do i belong?
won’t you sing a poor cowboy, another lonely song
[outro]
singapore cowboy (singapore cowboy)
singapore cowboy (singapore cowboy)
singapore cowboy (singapore cowboy)
