About

“I wanna Be A Cowboy” was released as a single in 1986 and went on to become Boys Don’t Cry’s biggest and only hit, peaking at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. The song itself is nonsensical and comedic in nature and is considered a perfect musical representation of a spaghetti western.

I Wanna Be a Cowboy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Riding on the range
I got my hat on
I got my boots - dusty
I got my saddle
On my horse
He's called....
T-T-T-T-T-Trigger!
Of course

[Chorus]
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

[Verse 2]
(Woman's voice)
Riding on the chuck wagon
Following my man
His name is Ted
Can you believe that?
(Male choir) Ted! Oh, Ted! Fighting off danger!
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair
Makes me feel quite dirty
Though we all do sometimes
(Male choir) Ted gets so dirty!

[Chorus]
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

[Verse 3]
Looking like a hero
Six-gun at my side
Chewing my tobacco
Out on the horizon
I see a puff of smoke
Indians on the warpath
(Indian voice) White man speak-em with forked tongue
Or not

[Chorus]
I wanna be a cowboy
You can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
Mmmm, you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

[Outro]
My name is Ted
One day
I'll be dead, yo! Yo!
