I'm a Cowboy Songtext
von Bill Engvall

Lyrictext
i'm a cowboy
yes i am

and last summer
on my fortieth birthday
i deserved the biggest stupid sign
you could ever give an individual

i decided on my
fortieth birthday
i was gonna become
a rough stock
bareback rider
in the rodeo

not a good age
to start this little hobby
guess i better tell the wife


pumpkin
you ain't gonna believe this
i'm going to bareback
riding school and she goes
are you stupid

ha ha i guess
but i am a cowboy

i'm a cowboy
yes i am
make no mistake about it
i'm a rodeo man

i ain't never been afraid
to take the bull by the horns

i've been a cowboy since the day
i was born
i'm a cowboy
yes i am

i get to the arena
the horse is in the chute
but it's not even a buckin' horse ya'll
it's a trainer

the horse still has
a halter with a lead rope on it
alright


but i get behind the chutes
and my coach starts callin' me
cowboy which is psyching me up

i mean if he'd just
call me bill
i'd have like
hey let's just
blow this off

but i get behind
the chutes
and he goes
i knew you'd show up
cause you're
a cowboy

i believe you're a cowboy
hey are you a cowboy
i said yes i am a cowboy

i'm a cowboy
yes i am
make no mistake about it
i'm a rodeo man

living for a minute
when they pull that gate
countin' every second down
and prayin' for eight
i'm a cowboy yes i am

my coach goes
alright cowboy
when you're ready
you dip that hat
and we're gonna
let him go

i said sss let's go
they slammed
the gate open
and lead the horse out
by the rope

like you would do with your kids
but i'm spurring this horse like i'm at
the national finals rodeo man

i'm just woah
woah oh oh
and my coach is
screaming
you got him cowboy
you got him

i said you dang right i got him
i am a cowboy

'bout that time
i hear my coach go get him hank
hank is my
coaches dog

who's only job
is to make this horse mad
hank jumps up and bites this horse on the butt

and this horse freaked
he did this lunge buck
and i'm airborne

i'm a cowboy yes i am
make no mistake about it
i'm a rodeo man

i ain't never been afraid to take
the bull by the horns

i've been a cowboy
since the day i was born
i'm a cowboy
yes i am

and my coach goes
well bill
i said oh now it's bill
he said you wanna ride that horse again

i said no
but i got to know one thing
did that horse buck

he goes yeah why
and i go
cause i am a cowboy
i'm a cowboy
yes i am
