Tough to be a Cowboy

He’s back home in New York
After Texas College
World don’t need no
Philosophy majors
Sleeps in his old bed
High school in his head
Spends most days
Alone in the cellar

Video games
Westerns on the TV
Stampedes and cowpokes
On the open range
He sees hisself
Long lean and handsome
A part to play
Life on that stage

Tough to be a cowboy
Living with mom and dad
He can buy Lucheses
And Resistol cowboy hats
Tough to be a cowboy
Living with mom and dad
Tough to be a cowboy
On the dime of mom and dad

He asks they giveth
Needs a Ford pickup
Don’t want his Tesla
In the drive
Neighbors stare
When he passes by
No Roy Rogers
Maybe Andy Devine
