Country Swing | Lady luck keeps hidin'

Lyrics: I rode into Copper Creek with dust all over me, Sharpshooter reputation but no girl in sight to see. I beat the boys at poker, made the whole saloon roar, But lady luck keeps hidin’ every time I walk through the door. I’m a cowboy on a mission, but romance ain’t my game, I can shoot a dime at twenty yards but love won’t take my aim. I play the piano laughin’, make the whole town dance along, But somehow every pretty girl keeps ridin’ off before my song. I tried my charm in Dusty Ridge, they laughed at every joke, I played a silly ragtime tune, the whole saloon went broke. I dealt the cards like magic, won a chicken and a hat, But every lady winked at me then said, “No cowboy, not like that.” In Silver Spur I serenaded three cowgirls by the bar, They giggled at my melody but none said I’m their star. I danced a goofy two‑step, tripped and fell into a chair, The sheriff laughed so hard he spilled his whiskey everywhere. Now every town I wander through, they know my comic style, I make the folks start stompin’ and I make the babies smile. But when it comes to romance, I’m the worst shot in the West, Guess Cupid’s got me dodgin’ arrows like a cowboy jest. I’m a cowboy on a mission, but romance ain’t my game, I can shoot a dime at twenty yards but love won’t take my aim. I play the piano laughin’, make the whole town dance along, But somehow every pretty girl keeps ridin’ off before my song. I tip my hat to every town, still searchin’ for my bride, But till that lucky lady comes, I’ll keep on playin’ wide. So pour another root beer, friends, and laugh the night away— This lonely cowboy’s ridin’ on… maybe love will find me someday.
