The Uncle Bill Roach Band - You Can Be A Cowboy Lyrics

Lyrics & music by MIKE SLAGLE

WELL HERE’S TO ALL THE COWBOYS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
THE WAY THEY WEAR THEM BIG OL’ HATS AN JINGLE THEIR SPURS
WELL THE COWBOY’S LIFE IS DIFFERENT NOW LEMME TELL YOU HOW
NOW YOU CAN BE A COWBOY WITHOUT HAVING ANY COWS

YEA THE COWBOY HAS GOT A CELL PHONE
SO HE CAN CALL UP AN’ CHECK ON HIS HERD
THERE’S ALLIE UP IN DUMAS, THERE’S ROSE IN SAN ANTONE
DON’T FORGET THAT LOVELY PEARL DOWN IN FREDRICKSBURG

WELL HE USED TO RIDE A HORSE NOW HE DRIVES A PICKUP TRUCK
HE USED TO SMOKE THEM ROLL YOUR OWN, NOW HE’S DIPPIN’ SNUFF
AN’ HE USED TO HAVE A SIX GUN STRAPPED TO HIS SIDE
NOW HE’S GOT A CELL PHONE WITH A CAMERA INSIDE

YEA THE COWBOY HAS GOT A CELL PHONE
SO HE CAN CALL UP AN’ CHECK ON HIS HERD
THERE’S ALLIE UP IN DUMAS, THERE’S ROSE IN SAN ANTONE
DON’T FORGET THAT LOVELY PEARL DOWN IN FREDRICKSBURG

WELL NOW I WANNA BE A COWBOY, GIMME A BIG OL’ STRAW HAT
I’LL LOOK LIKE STEVEN FROMHOLZ, SOUND LIKE JOHNNY CASH
I’LL GET A BIG OL’ RODEO BUCKLE, WELL THERE’S ONE THING LEFT TO DO
STRAP A CELL PHONE TO MY HIP SO I CAN CALL SUE

YEA THE COWBOY HAS GOT A CELL PHONE
SO HE CAN CALL UP AN’ CHECK ON HIS HERD
THERE’S ALLIE UP IN DUMAS, THERE’S ROSE IN SAN ANTONE
DON’T FORGET THAT LOVELY PEARL DOWN IN FREDRICKSBURG
DON’T FORGET THAT LOVELY PEARL
YOU KNOW SHE’S DOWN, DOWN IN FREDRICKSBURG
