Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Leather jacket, no sleeves
Harley Davidson, yes please
Zippo lighter, Marlboro Reds
Jack Daniels, big party
[Verse 2]
Spider web tattoos
Sew on patches, lots of booze
Pony tail, bandana
Snakebite, big party
[Chorus]
I'm a rock and roll party cowboy
And I ain't gonna read no Tolstoy
Uh-uh
[Verse 3]
Electric guitars, bad boys
Hey, where the ladies at? Bring the noise
Heavy metal, hard rock
Soft rock, big party
[Chorus]
I'm a rock and roll party cowboy
And I ain't gonna read no Tolstoy
'Cause I'm a rock and roll party cowboy
And I ain't gonna eat no bok choy
[Bridge]
Loaded six-string on my back
Marshall stack, double Jack
Ripped jeans and aviators
Raise some hell, see you later
[Chorus]
I destroy the things you enjoy
I'm a rock and roll party cowboy
With a pool boy in my employ
And I ain't gonna read no Tolstoy
I destroy the things you enjoy
I'm a rock and roll party cowboy
With a pool boy in my employ
And I ain't gonna read no Tolstoy
[Outro]
Ain't gonna read no
Ain't gonna read no
Ain't gonna read no
Ain't gonna read no Tolstoy
Fuck off
