about

gay cowboy love song

lyrics

Well they worked together for 7 years, Adam and his friends
at the steel ball bearing factory out on the south end
and in that time they’d never heard a story about his life
and Adam’s friends would wonder if he’d ever had a wife
til one year at xmas he did somethin that they’d hardly believe
walked into the room holdin his man said this here’s my husband Steve
well the group looked Steven up and down, they figured Adam must know best
but they thought they’d ask some questions and put Steven to the test
Can you stack the hay – Can you move the plow
drag sandbags to the levy when the rain is pourin down
can you give yourself to your fellow man when it’s time to save the town
Steven said I can oh yes I can – well then you must be a man

later came the question about he and Steve had met
well they’d been workin at a cattle ranch on down by Lafayette
Steven spent his evenins with the boorish old cowpokes
where Adam was the only one who understood his jokes
They’d steal out of the bunkhouse to the back barn under cover of night
Fall into a warm lovers embrace while the barnboards let in little streaks of moonlight
til Steven said to Adam ‘Man before we let it go
there’s a few old country things that I have got to know’

Well this america’s got lotsa gay men who are turnin out to be your model country citizens
and we americans ain’t known for patience with hearin advice about who to spend our lives with
Adam and Steve they’re like you and me just american men lookin for an american … dream
