Lyrics
I was on my way to see my Dad
when I saw a drunk cowboy sitting on his horse
he had a rope in his hand
and on the end of that rope there was a mailbox
he tipped his hat and said "hey, mister would you please
help me get my parking brake to release?"
so I helped him get on down the road
he tried to thank me with a kiss but I said "I ain't brokeback"
and so he moseyed on just like that
and at every mailbox he tipped his hat
and I heard him yelling, "has anybody out there seen
my best friend in the whole damn world...Jim Beam???"
he sang "I got friends in low places
where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases...
boo hoo, oh, boo hoo, my bloohooohooos awayayayayay..
*sniff* I'll *sniff* be..ohohohohohkaay WAHHH!!!
OHHHH Whyyyy???"
That's what he said. Oh man.
I took pity on the guy. You know? I thought I'd take him back to the bar, get him some coffee, sober him up a little bit...
My bad.
So I had to get back out of my car
and take that drunk cowboy back to the bar
and you can laugh if you think it's a joke
it turned out he weren't gay but he sure was broke
and the moral of the story's when you're on your way to see your dad
don't stop to help drunk cowboys or you'll end up paying their bar tab!
Oh, I got friends who are low, of course,
but they all pay their tabs before they get on their horse
$112 bucks? What kind of cowboy drinks apple-tinis and mojitos all night anyway?
No! I don't want to go back to your place and play Wii Tennis!
Hillary Swank?! Dude, nobody's that drunk.
Who's Mr. Belvedere? Your horse? Why do I have to go back and feed him bacon? I don't get it.
Oh man. I should've just let my dad set up his own wireless router.
