about

Classic country duet featuring "The Temptress Of Twang" Teresa Williams.
Originally, this song was not written as a duet, but it lent itself to the transformation amazingly well. The lyric printed here is the original.

lyrics

MAKE THE PIECES FIT

Trackin' down the trivia in every country song
Tryin' to make the pieces fit and see where we belong
I'm not quite a cowboy 'though I long to be some day
And you don't quite seem like the queen of a honky tonk cafe

Although I've never ridden down the dusty trails alone
And you never left me like a dog without a bone
I sing the songs that cowboys do and cowboys always will
As I wonder what's around the bend and over yonder hill I'm just

Trackin' down the trivia in every country song
Tryin' to make the pieces fit and see where we belong
I'm not quite a cowboy 'though I long to be some day
And you don't quite seem like the queen of a honky tonk cafe

If you add a little make-up put on some powder and some paint
You can make yourself look like the kind of lady that you ain't
Put a quarter in the jukebox play some music sad and slow
And then dream about the cowboy that you didn't really know you're just

Trackin' down the trivia in every country song
Tryin' to make the pieces fit and see where we belong
I'm not quite a cowboy 'though I long to be some day
And you don't quite seem like the queen of a honky tonk café

We're just two old lonely people tryin' to find someone to be
Well I kinda like you like you are and I hope that you like me
Why don't we get together and then maybe things will change
And you can be my cowgirl when I come in off the range
(and we can stop all this)

Trackin' down the trivia in every country song
Once we've made the pieces fit and found where we belong
I'll be your long tall cowboy you can be my dancehall queen
And we'll know what all those lines that say "I love you" really mean
I said I'll be your long tall cowboy you can be my dancehall queen
And we'll know what all those lines that say "I love you" really mean
Yeah we'll know what all those lines that say "I love you" really mean
