Cowboy
Kid Rock & The Twisted Brown Trucker Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, I'm packin up my game and I'ma head out west
Where real women come equipped wit' scripts and fake breasts
Find a nest in the hills, chill like flynt
Buy an old drop-top, find a spot to pimp
Then I'ma Kid Rock-it up and down ya' block
Buy a yacht with a flag sayin' "chillin' the most"
Then rock that bitch up and down the coast
Give a toast to the sun
Drink with the stars
Get thrown in the mix
And get tossed outta bars
Sift to Tijuana
I want to roam
Find Motown telephones and come back home
Start an escort service for all the right reasons
And set up shop at the top of four seasons
Kid Rock, and I'm the Real Mccoy
And I'm headed out west, sucker 'cause I want to be a
Cowboy, baby
(With the top let down and the sunshine shinin')
Cowboy, baby
(West Coast Chillin' while the boone's whinin') I want to be a cowboy, baby
(Ride at night 'cause I sleep all day) cowboy, baby
(I can smell a pig from a mile away)
I bet you'll hear my whistle blowin' when my train rolls in
It goes - Like dust in the wind
(Stoned pimp, stoned brew, stoned out of my mind)
I once was lost (but now I'm just blind)
Palm trees and weed, scabbed knees and rice
Get a map to the stars, find Heidi Flice
And if the price is right then I'm gonna make my bid, boy
And let Californi-A know why they call me
Cowboy, baby
(With the top let down and the sunshine shinin')
Cowboy, baby
(West Coast Chillin' while the boone's whinin') I want to be a cowboy, baby
(Ride at night 'cause I sleep all day) cowboy, baby
(I can smell a pig from a mile away)
Yeah, Kid Rock, you can call me Tex
Rollin' sunset women with a bootle of becks
See a slimy in a 'Vette, roll down my glass
And said "yeah this dick fits right in yo' ass"
No kiddin', gun slingin', spurs hittin' the floor
Call me hoss, I'm the boss, with the sauce, and the horse
No remorse for the sheriff and his eye ain't right
I'ma paint his town red then paint his wife white, uh!
'Cause chaos rock like Amedeus
Got west-coast pussy for my Detroit playas
Mack like mayors, ball like Lakers
They told us to leave but bet they can't make us
Why they want to pick on me?
Lock me up and throw away my key
I ain't no cheat, I'm just a regular failure
I'm not straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer
Cuss like a sailor, drink like a mick
My only words of wisdom are just "suck my dick"
I'm takin' my pick up and down that coast and
Keep on truckin' 'til I fall in the ocean
(Cowboy) with the top let back and the sunshine shining
(Cowboy) spend all my time at Hollywood and Vine
(Cowboy) riding at night 'cause I sleep all day
(Cowboy) I can smell a pig from a mile away
(Cowboy) with the top let back and the sunshine shining
(Cowboy) with the top let back and the sunshine shining
(Cowboy) Hollywood and Vine-in'
Kid Rock's "Cowboy" tells the story of his desire to become a cowboy, as he packs up his game and heads out west, where he plans to enjoy himself with real women equipped with fake breasts and scripts. He wants to live in the hills and relax, chilling like Clint Eastwood, and buy a drop-top and pimp it out. He plans to roam around Tijuana and find Motown telephones before returning home to start his escort service. Throughout the song, Kid Rock expresses his desire to be a cowboy, living like a rockstar and enjoying the sun and stars.
The song is very metaphorical, as the lyrics are suggestive of Kid Rock's own life, as he was living the rock and roll lifestyle at the time, partying and going on tour around the United States. The song's chorus is catchy and easy to sing along to, with the lyrics "Cowboy, baby", which were inspired by the Beastie Boys' "Paul Revere."
Interestingly, the song was originally written to be a collaboration with LL Cool J, but the collaboration was later scrapped. Additionally, the song was released on his album, "Devil Without a Cause," which has sold over 11 million copies to date.
Overall, "Cowboy" is a fun and catchy song that captures the essence of Kid Rock's rockstar lifestyle and his desire to live like a cowboy in the wild west.

Keep going until I can't anymore

Riding with the top down and sunshine

Spending time in Hollywood
