"Like a Good Cowboy" Lyrics

Walking down the street in L.A.
Caught in the middle of a heat wave
Pass by the star of John Wayne
And I think to myself how times change.

Now, where the cattle once roamed
There's a Burger King and a peep show
We do everything from our cell phones
Ridin' in our steel broncos.

Oh, it's Dow Jones, hi, low, price of corn in Tokyo
Wild west neighborhood
It's quick draw, credit cards, the world turns but in my heart
I'm ridin' down the range
Like a good, good, good, good cowboy.

I do what I say and say what I mean
Try to get a grip on the American dream
Sunrise to Sunset Strip I'll be
Workin' to the bone just to try to have a voice
When Friday night comes I'm gonna turn up the noise
Like a good, good, good cowboy.

Dollar don't go far these days
The new frontier is a freeway
Five P.M. is a rat race
Even Eastwood moved to Monterey
Lean Cuisines, microwaves, silicone
And cellophane, Aliens in Hollywood
Bright lights, big city, concrete nitty gritty
But I'm ridin' the range
Like a good, good, good, good cowboy.

I do what I say and say what I mean
Try to get a grip on the American dream
Sunrise to Sunset Strip I'll be
Workin' to the bone just to try to have a voice
When Friday night comes I'm gonna turn up the noise
Like a good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good cowboy.

Oh, it's Dow Jones, hi, low, price of corn in Tokyo
Wild west neighborhood
It's quick draw, credit cards, the world turns but in my heart
I'm ridin' down the range
Like a good, good, good, good.

I do what I say and say what I mean
Try to grab a piece of that American dream
Sunrise to Sunset Strip I'll be
Workin' to the bone just to try to have a voice
When Friday night comes I'm gonna turn up the noise
Like a good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good cowboy...
