My head is aching, and I'm late for work There's a girl in the kitchen, and she's wearing my shirt My buddies are home again, they're threatening to leave Yes that beer on my nightstand will be breakfast for me Cause that's how it goes with cowboys and friends As soon as it's over, it all starts again That's the way that it should be Cause that's the way that it's been Yeah the fun never ends, when the party begins Cowboys and friends I've been working all morning, just busting my back And it's all for a foreman who doesn't know jack My buddies keep talking, they say we're going out late Guess that sleep that I'm wanting will just have to wait Cause that's how it goes with cowboys and friends As soon as it's over, it all starts again That's the way that it should be Cause that's the way that it's been Yeah the fun never ends, when the party begins Cowboys and friends Yeah the party begins where this two lane road ends Cowboys and friends
