Lyrics
Mama wouldnt let me be a Cowboy - © Marcus F D Hicks 2009
The Monday morning rush is on
Ive overslept, its going wrong
Im a Nine to fiver in a shirt and tie
Doing my best to live this lie
The weekends gone but the smiles remain
Oughta a see me through till it starts again
Its a five day stretch in the real world
To pay for my sins and my weekend girl
Oh Mama wouldnt let me be a cowboy
But bless my Mama I guess that she was right
I cant hold my drink and I never won a fight
The hat dont fit and the boots are tight
No, Mama wouldnt let me be a cowboy
I dont want to grow up or settle down
Be saddled to a desk in a 1 horse town
A weekend in the country is what its all for
A pickup truck and the rodeo roar
Mama said, you wont get far,
Chasing those girls and drinking in the bar
You could be a doctor or lawyer or such
Oh mama dear, thats way too much
I polish my gun at the end of the day
Drink some whisky and drift away
To the wind on my back and the sun on my face
Ride down the sun to a happier place
Where my alter ego gets to wear
The hat, the boots, the Yul Brynner stare
Or try the swagger of The John Wayne walk
Or the Jimmy Stewart charm in the way I talk
Oh Mama wouldnt let me be a cowboy
But bless my Mama I guess that she was right
I cant hold my drink and I never won a fight
The hat dont fit and the boots are tight
No, Mama wouldnt let me be a cowboy
