I've lived the life of a hired hand

I've lived the life of a working man

I've lived the life of a gypsy too

And I have lived the life of a drunken fool

I've got a weakness for them ole swayback horses

Pretty girls and fine guitars

Antique cars and cowboy bars

Well these hands they build mansions

And they build cow stanchions

I've rode a main my last few

And I have laid them down on a bale or two

I've got a weakness for them ole swayback horses

Pretty girls and fine guitars

Antique cars and cowboy bars

These hands ride the rough stock

Punch post holes through hard rock

No they won't ever be cruel to you

There's certain things that they just won't do

These hands ride the cell block

Peel coyotes and tie pack knots

They'll pick an ole guitar too

And that ain't all they'll do

I've got a weakness for them ole swayback horses

Pretty girls and fine guitars

Antique cars and cowboy bars

Well it's a long way from over

I see a field of four leaf clovers

Money's always come hard for me

But that won't always be

I've got a weakness for them ole swayback horses

Pretty girls and fine guitars

Antique cars and cowboy bars

Pretty girls and fine guitars

Antique cars and cowboy bars

Yeah
