Hippies & Cowboys - Alt Take

[Verse 1] Well I started on the whiskey pretty early this morning That's alright, I was up all night But I passed out before the sun came up I really wanted to see one of those I know that’s no way for a man to behave With a mortgage due and a baby on the way But somehow I made it to where I'm at It's been a livin’ as a matter of fact [Verse 2] I get a bad attitude from being tired and runnin' ‘round I never ask for anyone to say they like my sound I've never been a part of any bullshit scene No I ain't just talking Nashville, if you know what I mean They don't write about me in their magazines And I don't ask for no reviews on those songs that I sing No I've never had a lot of friends and I'm alright by that But people keep on comin’ back [Chorus] Raisin’ hell with the hippies and the cowboys They don't care about no trends They don’t care about songs that sell Yeah, tomorrow I'll be gone So tonight everybody just sing along Raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys [Verse 3] I've been standin’ on the outside for all of my life And I like the view, I'm not gonna lie The yuppies and the hipsters and the wannabe scenes You know that ain't down home to me Well I like two dollar beers, I like three dollar wells In some old honky tonk bar that I know by the smell With some old drunk on a bar stool on a Merle Haggard tune That's my kind of room [Chorus] Raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys They don't care about no trends They don't care about songs that sell Yeah, tomorrow I'll be gone So tonight everybody just sing along Raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys [Chorus] Raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys They don't care about no trends They don't care about songs that sell Yeah, tomorrow I'll be gone So tonight everybody just sing along Raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys [Outro] And I'll be raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys
