I Wanna Be A Cowboy Lyrics
Riding on the range,
I've got my hat - on,
I've got my boots - dusty.
I've got my saddle
On my horse.
He's called....T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course.
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
(woman's voice)
Riding on the chuck wagon,
Following my man.
His name is Ted,
Can you believe that?
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair.
Makes me feel quite dirty,
Though we all do sometimes
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
Looking like a hero,
Six-gun at my side,
Chewing my tobacco.
Out on the horizon,
I see a puff of smoke.
Indians on the warpath,
(Indian voice) White man speak-em with forked tongue.
Or not.
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
My name is Ted,
And one day I'll be dead yo yo.
I've got my hat - on,
I've got my boots - dusty.
On my horse.
He's called....T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course.
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
Riding on the chuck wagon,
Following my man.
His name is Ted,
Can you believe that?
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair.
Makes me feel quite dirty,
Though we all do sometimes
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
Six-gun at my side,
Chewing my tobacco.
Out on the horizon,
I see a puff of smoke.
Indians on the warpath,
(Indian voice) White man speak-em with forked tongue.
Or not.
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And one day I'll be dead yo yo.

i like to dance around in my underwear listening to this song
Holy cow - this song is sooo cool. I can't beleive there is only one comment so far. One of the best one hit wonders of the 80s - hands down.
I don't realy feel this song has any particular meaning other than the obvious. There is a certain glamour to the "cowboy" life; I remember working at a Ford dealership and we had a great pickup truck -an F-350 six-pack with the "King Ranch" package. The thing made me want to wear my western boots, hat, and grow a long moustache, and eat Burger King Wester Whoppers (it was right near a Burger King and we ate a lot of Burger King at that dealership.). A great sentiment for the lifestyle of the cowboy.
Awww,wander back with me children to a time when all one needed was a beat and nothing else in order to make a hit and get on the radio... :| I give you the eighties. LOL.
