Caribbean Cowboy.. silly song

Used to ride bulls out of West Texas

Got beat up so flew Jet Blue to St. Thomas

Traded Mexican tequila for Jamaican rum

Play a knock off Chesney guitar with steel drums

pre

No stopwatch and Brahma named Suicide Town

Just the Bahamas and to-die-for Island sundowns

Ch

I'm a Caribbean Cowboy

A rowdy sailor from Saint Barts to St.Croix

Home on the range is a beach of white sand

A sun-kissed tan my permanent brand

Like a drunk parrot making some noise

I'm a Caribbean Caribbean Cowboy.

v2

I got nothing against the good ole USA

Cept country radio stopped playing George Strait

Now I’m living in a reggae world

In love with an brown eyed almond-skinned girl

pre

She's got a palm leaf souvenir little tiki hut

Tourists buy Marley shirts and cocunut cups

Br

Long gone are break my back rodeo shows

Getting stomped on by a 1000 pound buffalo

Now I wet a finger raise it up and go

Wherever the trade winds blow

Ch

I'm a Caribbean Cowboy

A rowdy sailor from Saint Barts to St.Croix

Home on the range is a beach of white sand

A sun-kissed tan my permanent brand

Like a drunk parrot making some noise

Like a drunk parrot making some damn noise

I'm a Caribbean Caribbean Cowboy.

Yeah Caribbean Cowboy

Yeah Caribbean Cowboy

  • I don't know about silly. Maybe the joke gets a bit lost on a Brit, but I reckon this is a great song. Fabulous arrangement and cool vocal as I've come to expect.

    BTW, I had to turn off my vpn as Soundcloud appears to be blocking vpn's just now.

  • Elvis, this is definitely a unique sound. Nice production and your voice reminds me of someone and I can’t quite put a finger on it. A bit Roger Allan Wade meets Bob Dylan. It works!

    It is the first song. What do I hear in the morning? The sky is a deep blue and the air smells of grass, coffee and toast while I listen to you. I like the arrangement, it goes perfectly with the Caribbean story, cheerful and bright framing your voice while you drag the words with that cadence that only you know how to give!! I really enjoyed it Caribbean coywboy! @ElvisNash

  • I got strange timing lol

    Thanks

  • Elvis, nice listen ! . . . I like this, sung in a kind of Bob Dylan style, starts like a geography lesson, then evolves into your social commentary . . . it all works for me, especially the attitude and commitment you sing it with, and I enjoyed the very pro sounding production . . . you've sure got some interesting stories to tell in your songwriting.

    social commentary ? Country artists are always saying we miss George Strait, George Jones, Merle Haggard . old school country

    So I played off that

    Thanks Man
