Denim Dan Lyrics

Denim Dan was a cowboy man

And he dressed the part

Look here now he can't stand

From the breakin' in his heart

Off the wagon again

And all the trouble he's in

Lord only knows where does he ever gets his start

Is it from the miles that he's been

Or the snares he tangles in

Or the lonely ways of walkin' in his heart

His smile smirked and smeared

On his face and you can hear

His actions askin' him

Why being lonely ain't so hard

Waking up in late morning light

Lookin' for any vice in reach

He learns his wicked ways

From those who're supposed to teach

He's off the wagon again

He's pissed his last cowboy killers broken

Lord only knows how he's standing on the strength of his own feet

Is it from the miles that he's been

Or the snares he tangles in

Or the lonely ways of walkin' in his heart

His smile smirked and smeared

On his face and you can hear

His actions askin' him

Why being lonely ain't so hard

There's a quiet time when all the wine

Is gone along with his sobriety

He's sleeping this one off, 'til tomorrow then it's on

Again 'til he wakes up from this dream

Denim Dan was a cowboy man

And he drank the part

Look here now he can't stand

'Cause being lonely ain't so hard
