Ray Stevens - The Watch Song lyrics

I was sittin' in a bar
Room just drinking my beer
When a cowboy came over and
He said loud and clear
"You've been seen with my wife
Now I want your life
We can do it in here or we can do it outside"
Well I'm a meek minded fellow
That's never been yellow
So I stepped outside and kicked
Him in the crotch
Well it slowed him down but
When he came around
He stomped on me and then
He stomped on my watch

John Cameron Swayze I know this sounds crazy
But my wrist watch is busted
And I can't understand
A cowboy stomped it flat and
I freaked out over that
Now I feel naked with it gone from my hand
Oh, John Cameron
Me and that watch had been together 13 years
It's been shot at, dipped in beer
One time I even tied it to my motor
Boat and drove it up to the beach
People thought I was crazy John Cameron
But I knew you'd understand
I've hocked everything I own but
I can never hock
That watch because it's never let me down
Besides, the pawn shop would never pay
Me any money for it

So when that cowboy stomped it flat
I freaked out over that
I came up off the ground and
I beat him fair and square
But he couldn't take a lickin'
And now he's stopped tickin'
And now I am headin' for the electric chair

John Cameron Swayze I know this sounds crazy
But my wrist watch is busted beyond repair
A cowboy stomped it flat and
I freaked out over that
And now I am headed to the electric chair

That cowboy's wife came over to
See me the other day, john Cameron
And she told me that she and I were just
Going to ride off into the sunset together
Not only that but she bought
Me a brand new watch a Bulova
I told her to stick it in her ear!

John Cameron Swayze I know this sounds crazy
But my wrist watch is busted beyond repair
A cowboy stomped it flat and
I freaked out over that
And now I am headed to the electric chair
