This is the "Sweating to the Oldies" version (live recording).
Any garage band with a singer who's got a sense of humor can play
this with great success at your local party or whatever.  Have fun.

URBAN STRUGGLE

I want to be a Cowboy
I got to be a Cowboy
I'm born to be a Cowboy
I want to be a Cowboy
A Cowboy! Uh-huh

Tonight we're taking me best car
Were gonna go down to the Cowboy bar
I'm gonna wait till the club is full
and I'm gonna ride the mechanical bull

Cowboy look is the one I want
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a Cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late

All the Cowgirls in their Stetson hats
and their tight fitting jeans so they don't look fat
We'll all be listening to the Cowboy tunes
and stomp around like a bunch of goons

Cowboy look is the one I want
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late

We're all OD'd on the Olden West
and to see which Cowboy looks their best
I can ride that phony bull so damn good
Sometimes I think I'm Clint Eastwood

Cowboy look is the one I want
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late

I know I'm a Cowboy geek inside
My hat band's made out of synthetic rattle snake hide
After a couple Shoot-Them-Cowboy movies
I'll check out the Cowboy scene down at Zoobee's

Cowboy look is the one I want
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late

We all know who fights the best
We start fights with them punks at the Cu-Cu's nest
Those damn punks are crazy(though)
and meaner than a bull at a rodeo

Cowboy look is the one I want
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late

You call me an Urban thrown a course
A big deal if I'm afraid to ride a horse
With a broken nose and a fucked up knee
Maybe this Cowboy scene just ain't for me

Cowboy look is the one I want
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late

Yee Haw

Cowboy look is the one I want
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late

( I couldn't make it as a Punker )
