I want to be a cowboy

“Tonight we’re taking my fast 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”

We off to the hootenanny at the Riptide tonight and while there’s not mechanical bull, there’s a parade of western footwear you don’t see everywhere in San Francisco along with some damn good music.  Good way to help me ease into re-entry after leaving Texas.  Just don’t sit on your spurs!

(I couldn’t make it as a punker)

Cowboy boots  are a style of riding boot historically worn by cowboys, or those wanting to look like one.  No lace, pointed toe, high shaft and Cuban heel and not just cowhide anymore, it’s alligator to sting ray.  Whether it’s the classic (angled heel over one inch) or the roper (shorter lower squared off heel), it’s always a statement and I always feel a little Annie Oakley (who was also 5 foot tall and from OH!).

Hey Pancho, I smell a shoot coming on!  They don’t call me “little sure shot” yet and I need some practice before the next Christmas shoot.  Mr. Jonathan, where did I leave those guns?

I Want to Be a Cowboy Lyrics

by The Vandals

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-huhTonight we’re taking me fast 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 bullCowboy look is the one I sought
Can’t change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true Cowboy was my fate
I can’t help it if I was born lateAll 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 goonsCowboy look is the one I sought
Can’t change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can’t help it if I was born late

We’re all OD’d on the Olden West
seein’ who’s Cowboy clothes look the best
I can ride that phony bull so damn good
Sometimes I think I’m Clint Eastwood

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

I know I’m a Cowboy deep inside
My hat band’s made out of synthetic rattle snake hide
After a couple shit kickin’ Cowboy movies
I’ll check out the Cowboy scene down at Zubie’s

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

Find out who all fights the best
We start fights with them punks at the Cuckoo’s Nest
Those damn punks are crazy (though)
and meaner than a bull at a rodeo

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

You call me an Urban clone of 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 sought
Can’t change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can’t help it if I was born late

Yee Haw

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

( I couldn’t make it as a Punker )
