Here's a little tune about Disneyworld cowboys. They differ from real cowboys the way cowards who send men to war but won't fight themselves differ from real men of courage and conviction.

Occasionally I think about that phoney cowboy in the White House whose is either a criminal or crimnally stupid- those are the choices and then I think about all the people in the world whose own superficial persona and grasp of circumstance make it possible for him to be there.

I went down to the western store
To get myself some clothes
hand woven denim jeans
boots made in New York

I want to look like I was there
When the hard, hard work got done
Like I put these miles on my face
Last year when I was young

Its hard to be a cowboy
When youve never punched a cow
thats not the part Im after
So please dont show me how

Some day Im going to Texas
When my clothes are broken in
Yeah Ill kick some ass in Dallas
All the way to New Orleans

But Tonight Im flying to Las Vegas
Into the wind and on my way
Im gonna dance like there is no tomorrow
Cause my pick-up truck is pregnant
And my wife got towed away


Chorus; Oh my pickup truck is pregnant
Riding real low to the ground
And now my wife is missing
Sure, I checked the lost and found
The last thing she said was "bull sh** !"
And then she closed the door
And I guess Ill never really know
How come she left me for.

Tell me why it makes a difference
If I look like what Im not
I dont need to be authentic
As long as I look hot

I can drink from the long neck bottles
And talk that western sh**
There may be some pieces missing
But Ive got the most of it.

Nobody knows whats real or not
And dont nobody care
I can squint like Willie Nelson does
I got Lyle Lovetts hair

You only have to look the part
It's just like in DC
Where they went and made a president
From a cowboy just like me

And Tonight Im flying to Las Vegas
Into the wind and on my way
Im Gonna dance like there is no tomorrow
Cause my pick-up truck got pregnant
And my wife got towed away


Chorus; Oh my pickup truck is pregnant
Riding real low to the ground
And now my wife is missing
sure, I checked the lost and found
The last thing she said was "bull sh** !"
And then she closed the door
And I guess Ill never really know
How come she left me for.
