Rooster Chronicles
Mystic
Cowboys
He touched on the north side of
the alley
He was flying extra low today
In a black BMW with vanity plates
He slept the rest of his birthday away
Sometimes it’s hard to be an executive
Them purple shades don’t fit him like
they should
That whiskey was surely 90 proof
But that cocaine wasn’t any good
Sugar plum ladies and sales quotas
Took 99 percent of his attention
There used to be a good dad
looking back from the mirror
Now a party boy owned that reflection
Sometimes it’s hard to be an executive
Them purple shades don’t fit him like
they should
That whiskey was surely 90 proof
But that cocaine wasn’t any good
Sharon please come out and wake him
gently
Tell him if he goes to treatment
you might let him come back home
Sometimes it’s hard to be an executive
Them purple shades don’t fit him like
they should
