Be a Cowboy

All the mamas in the world out there'll say

They pray their babies'll turn out the right way

Stay away from the honky-tonks

The rodeos and the bad ol' Broncs

They won't wind up ridin' them fences

Drivin' old trucks with two-ton winches

Desperadoes 'til the day they die

And I guess that's why

Everybody wants to be a cowboy (A cowboy)

A cowboy

Livin' wild like they do out west

Be the best, ride away in the sunset

Kick up a little dust and you're gone

Just like some old country song

Every time if you had the choice

Everybody wants to be a cowboy

(Yeah, be a cowboy)

Yeah, they treat you like you're some kind of big rock star

Buy all your drinks when you walk in the bar

Even all the people out in Hollywood

Makin' movies about you, make you look good

Ain't no fun till you break a few bones

Knock off the dust, put your hat back on

Flyin' up high, burnin' gasoline

I think I know what they mean

Everybody wants to be a cowboy (A cowboy)

A cowboy

Livin' wild like they do out west

Be the best, ride away in the sunset

Kick up a little dust and you're gone

Just like some old country song

Every time if you had the choice

Everybody wants to be a cowboy

(Yeah, they treat you like you're some kind of big rock star)

And I guess that's why

Everybody wants to be a cowboy (A cowboy)

A cowboy

Livin' wild like they do out west

Be the best, ride away in the sunset

Kick up a little dust and you're gone

Just like some old country song

Every time if you had the choice

Everybody wants to be a cowboy

(Yeah, be a cowboy)
