Lyrics
Chorus:
I'm a blues man sittin' in a swivel chair.
I wanna be a cowboy playin' at the county fair.
Like that blue grass singin' on a Tennessee hill.
Ain't no comp'ny man livin' gonna break my will.
Verse:
When the clock strikes five, I leave the 25th floor.
My feet hit the carpet to the street below.
I flash a peace sign at the doorman as I pass him by.
Night's fallin' fast as I hop in my ride.
Chorus:
I'm a blues man sittin' in a swivel chair.
I wanna be a cowboy playin' at the county fair.
Like that blue grass singin' on a Tennessee hill.
Ain't no comp'ny man livin' gonna break my will.
Verse:
I trade my leather wing tips for my snakeskin boots.
My favorite blue jeans replace my Armani suit.
Ain't no more solid gold cuff links hangin' off my sleeve.
Just a tattoo on my shoulder says, "I Believe!"
Chorus:
I'm a blues man sittin' in a swivel chair.
I wanna be a cowboy playin' at the county fair.
Like that blue grass singin' on a Tennessee hill.
Ain't no comp'ny man livin' gonna break my will.
Verse:
When I walk into the club I put a beer in my hand.
slide a stool up to the bar, closest to the band.
Buy a round of drinks for all the lovely ladies in sight.
The band plays that rockin' southern music all night.
Verse:
And when the morning comes around I start all over again.
My boss looks at his watch, asks me, "Where you been?"
The whole time my toes are tappin' out the tune in my head,
I can't wait 'til five o'clock rolls 'round again.
'cause...
Chorus:
I'm a blues man sittin' in a swivel chair.
I wanna be a cowboy playin' at the county fair.
Like that blue grass singin' on a Tennessee hill.
Ain't no comp'ny man livin' gonna break my will.
Playin' music with my friends gonna give me a thrill.
Ain't no comp'ny man livin' gonna break my will.
