Cowboy by The Neon Philharmonic Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1969

[Verse 1]
Last night, the little girl walked in
And handed me my notice
They voted me out of her league
And I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed
And I'm sorry she couldn't use me

[Verse 2]
I woke up this morning
And cried and cried
I turned on The Today Show
And wished it was yesterday
Barbara Walters, would you marry me?
Or maybe mother me?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well I took a bus to get on a train
But somebody changed the trains and the planes
So I flew all the way to downtown L.A
But nobody there could use me
[Chorus]
So I'm gonna join the cowboys
And shoot me some outlaws
It's something to do
Since I'm out here anyway
But I'd quit it all, I'd give it all up
If the little girl could use me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The bigger the town, the smaller the man
The smaller the man, the bigger the clan
The bigger the clan, the easier to stand
The feeling that nobody needs you

[Chorus]
So I'm gonna join the cowboys
And shoot me some outlaws
It's something to do
Since I'm out here anyway
But I'd quit it all, I'd give it all up
If the little girl could use me
Whoa, yeah

[Outro]
I'm gonna be a cowboy
And lean on the outlaws...
