Cowboy (I Wanna Grow Up To Be a Cowboy)

My family tradition tends to make me into something that I'm not But I can't think of a better thing for me to be than me, and that's alright by me I don't want to spend my days and nights and years inside some office building No! Just give me the outdoors, a white horse and an old ten-gallon hat What's wrong with that? Not a thing - I just sing I wanna grow up to be a cowboy, just like Buffalo Bill I said it when I was a five-year-old and I guess I always will Cause the cowboy gets the bad guy, and the cowboy gets the girl Best of all he gets a Colt .45 with a handle made of pearl In my dreams I'm the Sheriff of Laredo, and a Texas Ranger too I'm the man who told Geronimo just where to go and what he had to do But the mornin' brings reality right back to me, and damn I'm late for work They can't take my dreams away I'm gonna grow up to be a cowboy, just like Buffalo Bill I said it when I was a five-year-old and I guess I always will Cause the cowboy gets the bad guy, and the cowboy gets the girl Best of all he gets a Colt .45 with a handle made of pearl Oh yeah, I'm gonna grow up to be a cowboy, just like Buffalo Bill I said it when I was a little boy and I guess I always will The cowboy gets the bad guy. The cowboy gets the girl Best of all he gets a Colt .45 with a handle made of pearl A handle made of pearl
