Cowboy
Innocent Cabbage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a dirty mouth
Fun loving texas baby
My life's a joke
A bourbon and coke
I love it when the ice melts slowly
A spit bucket fight
C'mon boys now who's your daddy?
I'll teach you right with a towel fight
Pick up the soap and scrub me
I feel like making love to a cowboy
Down from the south
Man or a mouse
Shadow in the sunset baby
Got a loaded gun, what a funny pun
Just add sour cream and gravy
But in all my days
Never a craze like riding horseback naked
I'll let you ride on my porcupine
Just watch those spikes
Oh baby
I feel like making love to a cowboy

The lyrics portray this character as someone who is confident and unapologetic for their way of life. They are not afraid to show their dirty mouth and revel in their love of life.
The song also has an erotic undertone, as the singer expresses a desire to "make love to a cowboy." This is further emphasized in the later verse, where the lyrics mention the singer's experience of riding horseback naked.

The overall effect of the lyrics is to create a lively and engaging portrait of a rebellious cowboy who is equally adept at brawling and seduction.
