The Last of the Cock Rock Cowboys

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

A little self-deprecating humor inspired by Apple Music lumping my released music in with hard rock and hair bands.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Got a 30 year old pair of duct-taped Nocona boots
I picked up in Hollywood back in the day
Got a little history of substance abuse,
A knock off Les Paul and no stable place to stay

Prechorus
I’m hiding a receding hairline under a black Stetson Stallion hat
But please don’t tell anyone I told you that

Chorus:
I’m the last of the cock rock cowboys
Playin’ covers in a hotel bar
But I’m the last of the cock rock cowboys
Playin’ for tips in the jar

Verse 2
Used to be somebody somewhere else
But now there ain’t much to do
In this town where folks don’t say “Hello”
They laugh and say “Hey, are you the dude in Motley Crue?”

Prechorus
I’m hiding a receding hairline under a black Stetson Stallion hat
But please don’t tell anyone I told you that

Chorus:
I’m the last of the cock rock cowboys
Playin’ covers in a hotel bar
But I’m the last of the cock rock cowboys
Got forty dollars in the tip jar

Guitar solo

Chorus

Hahaha I’m actually getting ready for a hotel bar gig. It’s not fiction.

Instead of arenas it's hotels and bars, eh? I can appreciate the humor here and at the same time it's a bit sad. Some of the lines are a bit wordy and veer off rhythm, but as you've noted, there is a bit more adjust that could be made. Doesn't read or feel incomplete. Song form is pretty solid.
