Cowboy
Laverne/Du Santiago
I woke up in cowboy boots
Not mine and I dunno whoes
So I throw wide my arm
To check I am alone
Oh how will I get home this morning
A voice says don't you see
these boots were meant to be
Worn by you alone
Cowgirl's future will be hard
It's written in her scars
And pills control her health
She can't respect herself
At least it makes her interesting
Cowgirl don't you see
These boots were meant for me
Me and me alone
Cowboy ask me if it's hard
To live as something that I'm not
I fix him in the eye
A clown-like smile reply
Why cowboy that's my job
Cowboy don't you see
These boots were meant for me
Me and me alone
The only good cowboy might be a dead cowboy
But I am a cowboy
I am the cowboy
I will always be a cowboy
This herd graze the City mile
They're all the same
And we like their style
And when they fall to sleep
They're careful not to be
Their real selves in their dreams
Oh cowboy you should be
So careful that you keep your spurs sharper than me
