The Vandals
Urban Struggle
[Intro]
I want to be a Cowboy
I'm going to be a Cowboy
I'm born to be a Cowboy
I want to be a Cowboy
A Cowboy! (Uh-huh)
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Yee Haw, woo-woo, Yee Haw
Woo-woo, Yee Haw
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
I couldn't make it as a Punker
