Japanese Cowboy Lyrics
like a japanese cowboy
or a brother on skates
like a blizzard in Georgia
or a train runnin' late
i call out your name girl
in the heat of the night
and nobody answers
coz somethin' ain't right
breakfast at Shoneys
at $2.99
saved me me some money
and eased up my mind
i'm walkin' in circles
and feelin' the pain
i'm tossin' and turnin'
and cryin' in vain
like a japanese cowboy
or a brother on skates
like a blizzard in Georgia
or a train runnin' late
i call out your name girl
in the heat of the night
and nobody answers
coz somethin' ain't right
here we go.. (solo)
i'm ridin' at midnight
and crossin' the line
from the rain in my windshield
and the tears in my eyes
now the bedroom is empty
and i spent my last dime
and the lovers are leavin'
i got nothin' but time
i got you on my mind
like a japanese cowboy
or a brother on skates
like a blizzard in Georgia
or a train runnin' late
i call out your name girl
in the heat of the night
and nobody answers
coz somethin' ain't right
or a brother on skates
like a blizzard in Georgia
or a train runnin' late
i call out your name girl
in the heat of the night
and nobody answers
coz somethin' ain't right
at $2.99
saved me me some money
and eased up my mind
i'm walkin' in circles
and feelin' the pain
i'm tossin' and turnin'
and cryin' in vain
or a brother on skates
like a blizzard in Georgia
or a train runnin' late
i call out your name girl
in the heat of the night
and nobody answers
coz somethin' ain't right
and crossin' the line
from the rain in my windshield
and the tears in my eyes
now the bedroom is empty
and i spent my last dime
and the lovers are leavin'
i got nothin' but time
i got you on my mind
or a brother on skates
like a blizzard in Georgia
or a train runnin' late
i call out your name girl
in the heat of the night
and nobody answers
coz somethin' ain't right

This is like a countrified version of "Chariots of fire"...no shit, hum the melody
It should say "breakfast at Shoneys" Shoneys is a sit down restaurant chain in the South and have a delicious all you can eat breakfast buffet. Sadly it costs more than $2.99, but everything in life can't be perfect, I guess.
If you read the liner notes to "Paintin' the Town Brown", they mention that it was an unintentional rip-off of Chariots of Fire, and they segue into "Chariots" out of "Cowboy" on the live version of the song on that disc.
The meaning is pretty straightforward though. His girl left him and he's left feeling out-of-place or like everything concerning his situation "ain't right" ... much like all that stuff he talks about just "ain't right"
Next time im uncomfortable ill think about this song haha
