"Cowboys and Clowns" is a song written by Steve Dorff, Snuff Garrett, Gary Harju and Larry Herbstritt, and recorded by American country music artist Ronnie Milsap. It was released in June 1980 and is featured on the soundtrack for the film "Bronco Billy". The song was Ronnie Milsap's fifteenth number one on the country chart. The single stayed number one for one week and spent a total of twelve weeks on the country chart.[1]
The B-side, "Misery Loves Company," was a cover of a 1962 No. 1 country hit by Porter Wagoner. The song earned enough airplay to get the song listed as a tag-along B-side during the chart run of "Cowboys and Clowns."
