Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player In the cowboy scene He goes to the reservation drinks And gets mean He's gonna start a war He's gonna start a war And he hops in his Pickup Puts the pedal to the floor And says "I got mine but I want more" Because, Cowboy Dan's a major player In the cowboy scene He goes to the reservation drinks And gets mean He goes to the desert Fires his rifle in the sky And says, "God if I have to die You will have to die" Because, Cowboy Dan's a major player In the cowboy scene I didn't move to the city The city moved to me And I want out desperately Can't do it, not even if sober Can't get that engine turned over Can't do it, not even if sober Can't get that engine turned over No, no, not even if sober Can't get that engine turned over Standing in the tall grass Thinking nothing You know we need oxygen to breathe Oxygen to breathe Standing in the tall grass Thinking nothing You know we need oxygen to breathe Oxygen to breathe Everytime you think you're walking You're just moving the ground Everytime you think you're talking You're just moving your mouth Everytime you think you're looking You're just looking down Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player In the cowboy scene He goes to the reservation drinks And gets mean He hops in his Pickup Puts the pedal to the floor And says "I got mine But I want more" 'Cause, Cowboy Dan's a major player In the cowboy scene He goes to the reservation drinks And gets mean He goes to the desert Fires his rifle in the sky And says, "God if I have to die You will have to die" Cowboy Dan's a major player In the cowboy scene He goes the the reservation drinks And gets mean I didn't move to the city The city moved to me And I want out desperately Can't do it, not even if sober Can't get that engine turned over Can't do it, not even if sober Can't get that engine turned over No, no, not even if sober Can't get that engine turned over Yeah, not even if sober Can't get that engine turned over
