Story behind the song

The story is I walked into a bar called Sidewinders one night on Rideau St, in Ottawa Canada for a beer and they were having and the girls were having an  electric bull riding contest . A girl had won the trophy. I asked for the barkeep for a pen and so I got myself a song steed and all .

It's actually a take off of the 1st "King of the Ottawa City Cowboys' I just globalized it by taking the word (Ottawa) out. It's actually a true story cause I was that cowboy tho I didn't work for the government Hee Haw.

Lyrics

King of the City Cowboys

Well I'm the king of the city cowboys
I ride the electric bull
My horse is parked at a metered stall
And thrives on Texaco fuel

I play my guitar mu harp beat my drum
Even moan you a sad country song
And I sing for all the ladies 
At the Raceway Tavern Saloon

All day I work for the man on the hill
In a three piece suit and a tie
But tonite I'm goin to change all of this
Climb into my chevy and ride

I've matered all the new country disco techniques
In a way that you've never seen
By day I work by night I play
In my sexy skin tight blue jeans

I toast y'all concrete city cowboys
The hard work beer drinkin kind
Ans may the landlord give you a credit
For what you drink here you do leave behind

And to all you gals at the barstools
Don't pay that ol cowboy no mind
For when a cowboy is sad it's not half as bad
He'' do a computer game one more time
