Liner Notes
Ah-uh-ah.
Ah-uh-ah.
Ah-uh-ah.
Ah-uh-ah.
I want to be a cowboy.
I was born to be a cowboy.
I’m going to be a cowboy.
A cowboy; un-hunh.
Tonight we’re taking my fast car.
We’re gonna go down to the honkytonk bar.
I’m gonna wait ‘till the club gets full,
Then I’m gonna ride that mechanical bull.
[CHORUS:]
Cowboy look is what I’ve sought.
Can’t change now with the clothes I’ve bought.
Rhinestone cowboy was my fate.
I can’t help it if I’m born late.
Check out the cowgirls in their Stetson hats
Cinching up their jeans so they don’t look fat.
We’ll all be listening to cowboy tunes
& stomping around
like a bunch of goons.
[CHORUS]
Ya’ll know me, I’m like Lane Frost.
We’ll see whose cowgirls look the best.
I can ride that funny bull so damn good,
Sometimes I think Ennio Morricone would.
[CHORUS]
I know I’m a cowboy deep inside.
My hatband’s made of synthetic rattlesnake hide.
& after a couple shitkicker picture shows
We’ll check out the cowboy scene down at Metro.
[CHORUS again]
Find out once & for all who fights the best:
We stopped one of them punks by the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Those damn punks are crazy, though.
They’re meaner than a bull in a rodeo. Woo.
[CHORUS yet again]
You’d call me an urban clone, of course.
Big deal if I’m afraid to ride a horse.
With a broken nose & blown-out knee.
Well maybe this cowboy scene just ain’t for me.
[CHORUS et al]
Yee-haw. Woo-woo.
Yee-haw.
Rrrrrrrrrrraw-haw.
Woo-woo.
Yee-haw.
[CHORUS again, ad nauseum]

Swan shouts encouraging “That’s it!” exhortations (&
learns how to play guitar) for this industrialized cover of The Vandals’
cowpoke anthem. The inspiring early reviews from a certain Forklift
Rodeo Champeenion himself made all this possible, so keep on truckin’,
Mario!.
