Broken down cowboy


If I was a gambling man,
Never would have let you play your hand
With the broken down cowboy like me
Cos you never can trust your luck
He's bad news in a pickup truck
A broken down cowboy like me

He played every card he's got
Had a good hand but he messed it up
With that bummer down tumbled down hard

Saddled banks for the pain
Carries them around just like her middle name
A losing streak play them or dont

[Chorus:]
Oh he stang you along sang you a lonesome song
But he wind up alone again

No matter how hard you try
Never gonna let you get inside
That tumbled down broken down hard
It's a tough riding rodeo
Mean hard stewin long time ago
A broken down cowboy like me

But the way I feel about you
Wouldn't want that horse to hurt you to
A broken down cowboy like me

[Chorus]

If I was a gambling man,
Never would have let you play that hand
With the broken down cowboy like me

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics BROKEN DOWN COWBOY of JOHN FOGERTY is also present in the album Revival (2007)

Biografia

John Cameron Fogerty (born January 28, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer, best known as the frontman and primary songwriter for the rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. Born in Berkeley, California, Fogerty began playing guitar at age ten, influenced by the rock and roll of the 1950s and American folk music. In 1967, he formed Creedence Clearwater Revival with his brother Tom (drums), Stu Cook (bass), and Doug Clifford (percussion). The band achieved international success in the 1970s with a sound characterized by bluesy riffs, evocative lyrics about rural American life, and a strong folk-rock influence. Among their most famous hits are "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Fortunate Son", and "Green River", songs that helped define the aesthetics of American rock in the 1970s. After the dissolution of Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1972, Fogerty embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as "Centerfield" (1985) and "Blue Moon Swamp" (1997). In 2019, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
