Artist picture
Kevin Mattingly is a one man songwriter, guitar player, and I have recorded one CD with 12 of my songs called "Walk In My Dreams" while my wife Betsy and I were living in Montgomery, Texas. By May of 2001 we were in the process of moving to Dripping Springs area, in Texas near Austin. Since Betsy and I had written the lyrics to include references to Montgomery, the original version was such. However, upon moving to Drippin' I went back to the Grump Studio where Layton DePenning was kind enough to allow me, through some fancy computer recording techniques, to change the references made on the CD to Drippin', and Dripping Springs along with some other minor changes. The WIMD CD was recorded in Buda, and Austin, Texas. To meet my friends who played on and recorded the CD, go to www.denimband.com and enjoy some great original Texas music there!

COWTOWN – M – D Music: Kevin Mattingly 1991 / Lyrics: Betsy & Kevin Mattingly 1999 Cowtown that way I’m bound I’ve been herding doggies To a place that’s shady < Near Montgomery Texas > M < Near Drippin Texas > D Where a train is waiting This old boy will be rolling down tonight Cowtown this is my town Yeah the boys are squawking The cards are shady But that’s just talk Cause there’s a sheriff waiting These young boys will be shuffling the cards tonight Chorus: < An old cowboy he’s been riding saddle < Rode through storms that shattered the deserts void < Young cowboys they’ve been driving cattle < Wind Rain Dust they’ve battled < There’s just one joy Cowtown least ways I’ve found Well I heard them talking Cowboys get crazy But I just got myself A painted lady This old boy will be waltzing down tonight Cowtown look whats come round Well we herded the doggies At the railway station < Near Montgomery Texas > M < Near Drippin Texas > D Now that train ain’t waiting These cowboys will be stepping out tonight Chorus: < An old cowboy he’s been riding saddle < repeat Cowtown there’s a son down You could hear us singing Amazing Grace So hold him Lord Until the judgement day Could be a heavenly cowboy is dancing round tonight ==================================================== The Library of Congress United States Copyright Office Registration Number: PA0000978635 / Date: 2000-10-06 Registration Number: SR0000300426 / Date: 2000-10-06 Registration Number: SRu000210414 / Date: 1991-05-16
