The Cowboy Song

Well, I'm a real life cowboy
Just a quiet, humble fella
That's what we're like
Apart from Mike
Yeah, I'm more of a yeller!
Sing songs to pass the evenings
And because it soothes the herds
So they won't stampede
Unless Mike sings lead
And shouts every single word!
Mike!
Sorry...
Because we're cowboys
Real life cowboys
Not like the ones
You've seen on your TV
We've never held up banks at all
We're poorly paid
And kinda small
If you still wanna be a cowboy
Stick with me...
On your horse for 18 hours
And that saddle sores a curse!
Then feed your horse
And yourself of course
Though beans just make it worse!
Then you're back driving cattle
That's what being a cowboy means
Moving those beast from west to east
Sorry- it's the beans!
Because we're cowboys
Real life cowboys
Not like the ones you've
Seen in the movies
We're not big hunks like
That John Wayne
Because our horses would complain
If you still want to be a cowboy
Join us please...
You should be aware we have
Some customs that are strange
Like saying "Howdy" and not "Hello"
When you're out here on the range
Never touch a cowboy's hat
Never ride his horse
So what if I took your old mare?
Well I'd shoot you of course!
Fair enough!
Cowboys
Real life cowboys
Not like the ones you
See on silver screens
We didn't go out starting fights
'Cause unions fought for our rights
Now Mike will do a solo
Thanks to beans...
...
How was that?
It stunk!
And now my friends I fear
That the end is drawing near
'Cause we only ruled the range
For twenty years!
