Burial grounds and merry-go-rounds
are all the same to me
Horses on posts and kids and ghosts
are spirits we ought to set free.
City slicker pickers got a lot of
slicker licks than me
But ridin` the range and lookin` strange
is where I want to be
I just wanna be a Cosmic Cowboy
I just wanna ride and rope and hoot
I just wanna be a Cosmic Cowboy
A supernatural country rockin` galoot
Lone Star sippin` and skinny dippin`
and steel guitars and stars
Are just as good as Hollywood
and them bullshit disco bars
I`m gonna buy me a vest and head out west
my lady and myself
When we come to town they`re gonna rather `round
and just marvel at our health
Now big raccoons and harvest moons
keep rollin` through my mind
And home on the range where antelope play
is pretty damned hard to find
Don`t buy me on the lone prairie
I`d rather play there alive
I`m headed out west and I`m doin` my best to
keep my pony in over-drive
I just wanna be a Cosmic Cowboy
I just wanna ride and rope and hoot
I just wanna be a Cosmic Cowboy
A supernatural country rockin` galoot
And up is not the way I’m gonna shoot
