I can't go far without hitting the sea

I won't last long without a shop that I need

Red Bull from to get me through the day

And I feel bad 'cause I didn't cry

when someone I grew up with died

But I break down every time I'm on the scales

Always the cowboy, never the cow

I hate the way my life turned out

There ain't no ranch to roam inside my room

And I've got cotton wool for arms

I won't be much use on the farm

So I'll stay inside and watch him sing his tune

Four, three, two

I wanna be a cowboy, baby

I wanna be a cowboy, baby

Spin round on the playground

Oh I wanna be a cowboy, baby

I wanna be a cowboy, baby, alone

I don't need you to walk me home

My style icon is the Wolverine

Between each finger lies the key

To getting home without a buckaroo

And I see rodents at the foot of my bed

In the morning light when the sun is red

And I don't know what that means but it's coming true

Always the cowboy, never the cow

I hate the way my life turned out

It goes faster every time that I go to sleep

And talk about adventurin'

I hope to God that this ain't it

And I just can't feel it 'cause I've got nothing left

I wanna be a cowboy, baby

I wanna be a cowboy, baby

Spin round on the playground

Oh, I wanna be a cowboy, baby

I wanna be a cowboy, baby, alone

I don't need you to walk me home

You asked me what I want to be

I answer you so truthfully

I wanna go to my first rodeo

What's that cracked up to be?

I wanna stop relying on men who are bigger than me

I wanna be a cowboy, baby

I wanna be a cowboy, baby

Spin round on the playground

Oh, I wanna be a cowboy, baby

I wanna be a cowboy, baby, alone

I don't need you to walk me home
