Frequently Secretly



Strange all the hubbub about Willie's new single. Pansy Division recorded it in 1995:

Well there's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas;
There's many a young boy who feels things he can't comprehend.
And a small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes
No, small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men
And I believe to my soul that inside every man there's the feminine
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he's done with his women
But the ones that brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
Say what did you think all them saddles and boots was about?
And there's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother,
And inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.
And there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper,
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead:
So when you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister
You can't f*ck with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?
And there's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother
And inside every lady there's a cowboy who wants to come out
And inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out

For some reason he left off this verse:

Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie,
And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night.
Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies,
But I'll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight:
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
That's why they wear leather, and Levi's and belts buckled tight.
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother;
There's many a cowboy who's more like a lady at night.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
Even though they take speed and drive pickups and shoot their big guns;
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother;
There's many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he's done.
