Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other Willie Nelson originally written by Ned Sublette Intro: 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. Well small town don’t like it when somebody falls between sexes   No small town don’t like it when a cowboy has feelings for men. Well I believe in my soul that inside every man there’s a feminine    And inside every lady there’s a deep manly voice loud and clear. 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    What did you think those saddles and boots was about? 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. Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie    And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night. Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies     But I’ll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight:    Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other    That’s why they wear leather and Levi’s and belts buckled tight. There’s many a cowboy who don’t understand the way that he feels towards his brother;     There’s many a cowboy who’s more like a lady at night. Well there’s always somebody who says what the others just whisper   And mostly that someone’s the first one to get shot down dead: When you talk to a cowboy don’t treat him like he was a sister   Don’t mess with the lady that’s sleepin’ in each cowboy’s head.   Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other    Even though they take speed and drive pickups and shoot their big guns; There’s many a cowboy who don’t understand the way that he feels towards his brother;     E                                                       A(arpeggio)           There’s many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he’s done.

La chanson évoque la complexité des émotions que ressentent certains cowboys, souvent en contradiction avec les normes de leur environnement. Elle met en lumière la réalité de l'amour et de l'affection entre hommes, malgré les tabous et les attentes de la société. Dans les petites villes du Texas, où les idéaux de virilité sont forts, il est difficile pour un homme d'accepter ses sentiments pour un autre homme. La chanson souligne qu’en dépit de cette rigidité, des liens profonds existent souvent entre eux, révélant une sensibilité cachée sous leur image de cowboys stoïques. Le contexte de cette chanson se situe dans un environnement où la culture cowboy est fortement ancrée, avec des valeurs traditionnelles qui compliquent l'expression ouverte des émotions. Dans ce cadre, les hommes ont tendance à réprimer leurs sentiments et à respecter les normes de virilité, même si leurs cœurs montrent une autre réalité. Celle-ci fait écho à des thèmes universels de l'amour et de l'identité, qui transcendent le simple cadre cowboy pour toucher à l'expérience humaine elle-même.
