My boy’s an urban cowboy
He saddled up one day
He sold his good old pick up truck
And bought a swanky Chevrolet

Verse
He traded in his cowboy boots
For some fancy pin striped suits
Then left our ranch to join some branch
In corporate U.S.A.

He locked away his Smith & Wesson
Started some computer lessons
E-mails now-a-days he “shoots”
Lord I think, he’s lost his roots

Chorus
My boy’s an urban cowboy
He saddled up one day
He sold his good old pick up truck
And bought a swanky Chevrolet

Spoken
Now many a river he had to cross
But this time he did have no horse
The young and restless cannot wait
The Big Apple was his “Golden Gate”

Verse
Now who’s gonna tend them cattle
And who’s gonna fix the fence
With those rustlers I fight battles
Who’s gonna come, to my defense

Oh this old world’s a-changin’
Cowboys don’t get much pay
But the grass is green the air is clean
Pollution is kept at bay

Chorus
My boy’s an urban cowboy
He saddled up one day
He sold his good old pick up truck
And bought a swanky Chevrolet

Instrumental

Verse
My boy’s an urban cowboy
Now he rides some “virtual” plains
The World Wide Web has cast it’s Net
And lassoed him away

Now time does keep a-changing
My boy’ll be back one day
A cowboy’s home is on the range
And country boy’s hearts don’t change

Oh this old world’s a-changin’
Cowboys don’t get much pay
But with Levi’s, Stetson, Smith & Wesson
They’ll bury me someday!

With Levi’s, Stetson, Smith & Wesson
They’ll bury me someday!
