"Cowboy Jack Clements Waltz" lyrics - TODD SNIDER

Ain't nothin' wrong with
A waltz as long
As everyone's playing it right
Read all about it
In the Three-Quarter Times
No comet ever burned half-as-bright

[Chorus 1:]
Cowboy Jack Clement
Believe you me
Sharp as a tack piano key
This town will never be the same now that he's gone

In spite of what all of
These experts may say
These experts, they're often times wrong
It shouldn't take more than
Three or four minutes
To record your number one song

[Chorus 2:]
Cowboy Jack Clement
I guarantee
Sharp as a tack piano key
This town will never be the same now that he's gone
But there's still a little bit of shaking going on

[Spoken:]
I mean, that, that's about as good as I'm gonna be able to do that probably
