Merry-go-rounds and burial grounds
They're all the same to me
Horses on posts and kids and ghosts
Are spirits I would like to set free
Them city slicker pickers
Got a lotta slicker licks than me
But ridin' the range and actin' strange
Is where I want to be
And I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy
I just wanna ride and rope and hoo
Well I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy
Supernatural country rockin' galoot
Well skinny dippin' and Lone Star sippin'
And steel guitars
Are just as good as Hollywood
And them boogie-woogie bars
I'm gonna buy me a vest and I'll head out west
With my woman and myself
And when we come to town the people gather 'round
Marvel at that little mama's health
And I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy
I just wanna ride and rope and hoo
Well I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy, yes I do
Supernatural country rockin' galoot
ย
Well a big raccoon and a harvest moon
Keep runnin' through my mind
A home on the range where the antelope play
Is very hard to find
So don't bury me on the long prairie
Rather play there alive
Well I'm doin' my best to keep my thumb in the West
My little Bronco in overdrive
And I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy
I just wanna ride and rope and hoo
Well I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy, alright
Supernatural country rockin' galoot
And up is not the way I wanna shoot
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
