The Bobs - "Cowboy Lips" (aka "Barber Lips") - NYC 6/13/08

The Bobs perform "Cowboy Lips" (aka "Barber Lips") at the Metropolitan Room in Manhattan on June 13, 2008.

Being the amateur that I am, I had not a shotgun mic to work with and only my small digital camera, so the sound quality is pretty poor.

However, I hope that my listing the lyrics immediately below remedies this somewhat. (Note: the video starts in the middle of the song, and I've included only the lyrics heard in the video):

Cowboy lips are all right, all right by me
Jack Palance has got a sneer that's collagen-free
If I had his mustache I'd wax up the tips
To keep it off my cowboy lips, cowboy lips

When I'm out honky-tonkin'
I smoke my Marlboros with the filters off
It makes me cough
I can stomach Lone Star Beer
But not shots of rye
Rye can only get by
Cowboy, cowboy, cowboy lips,
Cowboy, cowboy, cowboy lips ...

Cowboy lips are all right, all right by me
Painted, pierced and puckered are for sissies, you see (I likes 'em)
Weathered and blistered and kissed by her brand
The kind of lips they wear in Cowboy--
(way up there in Cowboy--)
Lots of facial hair in Cowboy Lannnnnnnd ...
(Here in Cowboy Land!)

Songlady7, check out their self titled album (The Bobs) on Kaleidoscope Records. The original is still the best.
