Lyrics:
Singapore Cowboy
~ by Matthew Tan
~ Matthew & The Mandarins
I was born half a world from Nashville Tennessee
Where all year long the summer breezes blow
And while my friends are flying kites and planting Bonsai Trees
I got high on Country Radio
It wasn’t long before a song was born inside my heart
And soon I started singing right along
And understanding uncle smiled and gave my first start
By listening to my Shanghaied Country songs
It wasn’t long before a song was born inside my heart
And soon I started singing right along
And understanding uncle smiled and gave my first start
By listening to my Shanghaied Country songs
[Chorus]
Singapore Cowboy, so far from my home
Bright stars and guitars but none of my own
Singapore Cowboy, where do I belong?
Won't you sing a poor cowboy, another lonely song
I sang my songs in Singapore and crazy as it seems
A distant shore kept calling after me
And ten years from my first guitar I gathered all my dreams
And here I am in Nashville Tennessee
