At first I thought this was some strange satire or parody, or maybe an impersonation of Willie. It’s not, it really is him. The song was written 20 years ago. Nelson did a song for “Brokeback Mountain” and just released “Secret Cowboys” on iTunes, a bold move even for an icon like him. But then, he’s never much cared for convention.
“Secret Cowboys” lyrics include:
There’s many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas/There’s many a young boy who feels things he don’t comprehend
There’s many a cowboy who don’t understand the way that he feels towards his brother/ Inside every cowboy there’s a lady who’d love to slip out.
Well a cowboy may brag about things that he does with his women/ But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other/ That’s why they wear leather, and Levi’s and belts buckled tight.
Boondocks has been going off on exactly this subject for the last several days.
Indeed, grandpa just made a latte in celebration of the event.
I’ve been all over my iTunes store and have been unable to find Willie Nelson’s Secret Cowboys vido nor the song. Are you sure your info is correct?
