lyrics

Vers01
The plane spit him out, back o the streets
where he used to have good times
2000 miles away his life was buried
He needed a break to come down
Entered to a store, bought flip flpos an' beer
An' an ol' country shirt.
Went to a bar, joined some Honky Tonk band
Then a girl cheered him an' said I like your style

Ref
Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy
I just came out here to see whut's goin' on
Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy
I just came out here where I belong

Vers02
I arranged some show, played in bands
made sculptures an' been a photographer
But it's like I can do, whatever I want
I ain't noticed the way I need it
It gives me peace an' it frees my soul
Even beeing here in Music-City
Perhaps my demon's have kept me busy
Perhaps I've been to docile?

Vers03
Now ya told me alot 'bout the flip-flop cowboy
An' I guess it's time for a Two-Step(-Dance)
It's the best thing to shake all ya demon's away
They will be dizzy an' layin' numb on the dancefloor
Meanwhile, how'd ya like to get a lil kiss
From the dude called The F.F.C.
Some demons come back, but ya tell 'em the rules
You are the king of your house an'they are (just) visitors (going to C)

Ref
Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy
I just came out here to see whut's goin' on
Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy
I just came out here where I belong
Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy
I just came out here to see whut's goin' on
Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy
I just came out here where I belong, somehow
