I’m a Cowboy Songtext
von Bill Engvall

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, shh, 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
