The Cowboy Song
Well, I'm a real life cowboyJust a quiet, humble fellaThat's what we're likeApart from MikeYeah, I'm more of a yeller!Sing songs to pass the eveningsAnd because it soothes the herdsSo they won't stampedeUnless Mike sings leadAnd shouts every single word!Mike!Sorry...Because we're cowboysReal life cowboysNot like the ones You've seen on your TVWe've never held up banks at allWe're poorly paidAnd kinda smallIf you still wanna be a cowboyStick with me...SongtexteOn your horse for 18 hoursAnd that saddle sores a curse!Then feed your horseAnd yourself of courseThough beans just make it worse!Then you're back driving cattleThat's what being a cowboy meansMoving those beast from west to eastSorry- it's the beans!Because we're cowboysReal life cowboysNot like the ones you'veSeen in the moviesWe're not big hunks like That John WayneBecause our horses would complainIf you still want to be a cowboyJoin us please...You should be aware we haveSome customs that are strangeLike saying "Howdy" and not "Hello"When you're out here on the rangeNever touch a cowboy's hatNever ride his horseSo what if I took your old mare?Well I'd shoot you of course!Fair enough!CowboysReal life cowboysNot like the ones youSee on silver screensWe didn't go out starting fights'Cause unions fought for our rightsNow Mike will do a soloThanks to beans......How was that?It stunk!And now my friends I fearThat the end is drawing near'Cause we only ruled the rangeFor twenty years!
