Lyrics
Cowboys ain't easy, they're harder to please,
Cowboys are not easily satisfied; they have high standards.
cause they're always feeling low down.
They often experience a sense of melancholy or sadness.
But sometimes at night, when the feeling is right,
Occasionally, at night, when the mood is right,
There's a honky tonk club right in town.
There's a honky-tonk club in town where one can find solace.
That's where you go when you're feeling real low
This is a place to go when feeling down to lift one's spirits.
to brighten your spirits again.
The club is where you can brighten your mood again.
And surely enough, as the bottle gets drunk
As the bottle is consumed, the speaker becomes more approachable.
I'll be easy enough for you then.
They become more open and accommodating when under the influence.
Cause the whiskey and women and sweet sweet wine
Whiskey, women, and sweet wine are the speaker's companions for the night.
are holding me through tonight.
These elements help the speaker get through the challenges of the night.
Good timing friends and loud loud tunes
Good timing, friends, and lively music contribute to a positive mood.
are making me feel real fine.
The atmosphere makes the speaker feel good.
I wish I could stay here for the rest of my life,
The speaker wishes to stay in this enjoyable moment, perhaps implying a transient joy.
and maybe that won't be too long.
There's a recognition that this joyful state may not last long.
For now the whiskey and women and sweet sweet wine
Currently, whiskey, women, and sweet wine motivate the song.
are my reasons for singing this song.
These elements are the inspiration for the speaker's current song.
The last was made, the bills are all paid
The past is settled, bills are paid, and it's time to move on.
and the man says you better get gone.
An authority figure advises departure.
There ain't nothing left but a few lit cigarettes
Only remnants like lit cigarettes and old acquaintances remain.
and a couple of old hangers on.
There are a few lingering companions from the past.
I get off my stool, sort of feeling the fool
The speaker leaves the comfort of the bar stool, perhaps feeling foolish.
as I try to walk a straight line.
Struggling to walk straight, the speaker is affected by alcohol.
Then I tip my hat, they know I'll be back
The speaker acknowledges a return to the same setting later.
in need of another good time.
Acknowledgment that the speaker will seek another enjoyable experience.
Cause the whiskey and women and sweet sweet wine
Whiskey, women, and sweet wine have been the support through the night.
have held me through the night.
These elements have sustained the speaker.
Good timing friends and loud loud tunes
Good timing, friends, and lively music have enhanced the positive experience.
have sure made me feel real fine.
The overall atmosphere has made the speaker feel good.
I wish i could stay here for the rest of my life
The speaker desires a prolonged stay in this joyful state.
and maybe that won't be too long.
A recognition that this joyous state may not last for an extended period.
For now the whiskey and women and sweet sweet wine
Currently, whiskey, women, and sweet wine continue to inspire the song.
are my reasons for singing this song.
These elements remain the motivation for the ongoing song.
