Cowboy Lyrics – Kid Rock
Cowboy Song Lyrics
[Intro: Kid Rock]
Cowboy!
Cowboy!
[Verse 1: Kid Rock]
Well I'm packing up my game and I'ma head out west
Where real women come equipped with scripts and fake breasts
Find a nest in the Hills, chill like Flynt
Buy an old drop-top find a spot to ρ¡mρ
And I'ma Kid Rock it up and down ya' block
With a bottle of scotch and watch lots a crotch
Buy a yacht with a flag saying "Chilling the Most"
Then rock that b¡tch up and down the coast
Give a toast to the sun, drink with the stars
Get thrown in the mix and tossed outta bars
Sip the Tiajuana, I want to roam
Find Motown, tell them fools to come back home
Start an escort service for all the right reasons
And set up shop at the top of Four Seasons
Kid Rock and I'm the real McCoy
And I'm headed out west sucker because I wanna be a
[Chorus: Kid Rock]
Cowboy, baby!
With the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
Cowboy, baby!
West Coast chilling with the Boone's wine
I wanna be a Cowboy, baby!
Rideing at night 'cause I sleep all day!
Cowboy, baby!
I can smell a pig from a mile away
[Verse 2: Kid Rock]
I bet you'll hear my whistle blowing when my train rolls in
It goes (Whistling), like dust in the wind
Stoned ρ¡mρ, stoned freak, stoned out of my mind
I once was lost but now I'm just blind
Palm trees and weeds, scabbed knees and rice
Get a map to the stars, find Heidi Fleiss
And if the price is right then I'm gonna make my bid boy
And let Cali-for-ni-a know why they call me
[Chorus: Kid Rock]
Cowboy, baby!
With the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
Cowboy, baby!
West Coast chilling with the Boone's wine
I wanna be a Cowboy, baby!
Rideing at night 'cause I sleep all day!
Cowboy, baby!
I can smell a pig from a mile away
[Verse 3: Kid Rock]
Yeah!
Kid Rock you can call me Tex
Rolling Sunset woman with a bottle of Beck's
Seen a slimmy in a 'Vette, rolled down my glass
And said "Yeah this d¡cκ fits right in your αѕѕ"
No kiddin', gun slingin', spurs hitting the floor
Call me hoss, I'm the boss with the sauce and the whores
No remorse for the sheriff, in his eye I ain't right
I'ma paint his town red, then paint his wife white
Cause chaos, rock like Amadeus
Find West Coast ρμѕѕy for my Detroit playas
Mack like mayors, ball like Lakers
They told us to leave, but bet they can't make us
Why they wanna pick on me
Lock me up and snort away my key
I ain't no G, I'm just a regular failure
I ain't straight outta Compton
I'm straight out the trailer
Cuss like a sailor, drink like a mick
My only words of wisdom are just suck my d¡cκ
I'm flicking my Bic up and down that coast and
Keep on trucking till I fall in the ocean
[Chorus: Kid Rock]
Cowboy, baby!
With the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
Cowboy, baby!
Spend all my time in Hollywood and Vine
Cowboy, baby!
Ride at night 'cause I sleep all day!
Cowboy, baby!
I can smell a pig from a mile away
[Outro: Kid Rock]
Cowboy, baby!
With the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
Cowboy, baby!
With the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
Cowboy!
Cowboy Lyrics Explained
"Cowboy" is a song by American musician Kid Rock, released in 1999 as part of his album "Devil Without a Cause." The song blends elements of rap, rock, and country music, and it became one of Kid Rock's most successful and recognizable tracks. Let's break down the lyrics paragraph by paragraph to understand the meaning and themes in the song.
[Intro]
The song begins with the enthusiastic proclamation of "Cowboy! Cowboy!" This sets the tone for the persona Kid Rock adopts throughout the song, presenting himself as a modern-day cowboy with a wild and adventurous spirit.
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Kid Rock expresses his desire to leave his current surroundings and head west, likely referring to the allure of Los Angeles, specifically Hollywood. He mentions the stereotypes associated with Hollywood, like the prevalence of plastic surgery and superficiality, using phrases like "real women come equipped with scripts and fake breasts." Despite this, he plans to embrace the Hollywood lifestyle, comparing himself to figures like Errol Flynn, a Hollywood actor known for his charismatic and adventurous roles.
Kid Rock then talks about buying a convertible (old drop-top) and finding a place to "ρ¡mρ," which means to enhance or customize. This can be interpreted metaphorically, indicating his intention to make a name for himself and live life to the fullest.
The lines "Kid Rock it up and down ya' block / With a bottle of scotch and watch lots a crotch" suggest his rebellious and provocative attitude. He wants to stand out and party while enjoying the attention from women (watching lots of crotch).
The mention of buying a yacht and cruising the coast with a flag that says "Chillin' the Most" reinforces the image of living life carefree and indulging in luxury.
[Chorus]
The chorus is catchy and serves as a sort of mantra for the character Kid Rock is portraying in the song. He wants to be a "Cowboy, baby!" – an adventurous and free-spirited individual. He embraces the West Coast lifestyle, where he can relax and enjoy life, represented by the phrase "With the top let back and the sunshine shining." The mention of "Boone's wine" indicates a cheap and accessible alcoholic beverage, implying that he is not concerned with extravagance but rather laid-back enjoyment.
He emphasizes his nocturnal habits by saying he rides at night and sleeps all day, further reflecting his carefree and rebellious lifestyle.
The line "I can smell a pig from a mile away" can be interpreted in two ways. On one hand, it could be a reference to the police (who are sometimes colloquially referred to as "pigs"), suggesting that Kid Rock wants to avoid trouble with the law. On the other hand, it might be a metaphor for his keen ability to spot insincerity or dishonesty from a distance.
[Verse 2]
Kid Rock continues his journey to the West Coast, likening the excitement of his arrival to the sound of a train whistle blowing. He mentions being "stoned," which could refer to being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This adds to the rebellious and carefree image he is projecting.
The mention of "Heidi Fleiss" connects back to the earlier reference to Hollywood, as she was a notorious Hollywood madam. He suggests that he might engage in risky activities, alluding to the notion that he will make his presence known in the city's underground scene.
[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing Kid Rock's desire to embrace the Cowboy persona and his enjoyment of the West Coast lifestyle.
[Verse 3]
In this verse, Kid Rock introduces himself with the nickname "Tex," which is a reference to Texas, a state known for its cowboy culture. He continues to boast about his audacious behavior, likening himself to a wild and reckless character.
He uses explicit and provocative language to assert his dominance and disregard for authority, exemplified by lines such as "Call me hoss, I'm the boss with the sauce and the whores" and "My only words of wisdom are just suck my d¡cκ." These lines reflect Kid Rock's rebellious and unapologetic attitude, showcasing his "bad boy" image.
Kid Rock references Detroit, his hometown, and his desire to find "West Coast ρμѕѕy for [his] Detroit playas," indicating that he is looking to have fun and create connections in California.
The mention of "Straight Outta Compton" alludes to the rap group N.W.A.'s album title, and "Straight out the trailer" refers to Kid Rock's own background, as he had a humble upbringing in a working-class family.
[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated again, reinforcing Kid Rock's aspiration to be a modern-day cowboy living the West Coast lifestyle.
[Outro]
The song concludes with a final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing Kid Rock's desired identity as a "Cowboy" and his affinity for the West Coast and its carefree lifestyle.
Overall, "Cowboy" by Kid Rock portrays a persona that is rebellious, carefree, and living life to the fullest. It combines elements of cowboy imagery with a modern, rock-and-roll swagger, showcasing Kid Rock's ability to blend different musical styles. The song's lyrics celebrate the pursuit of pleasure, freedom, and a fearless attitude, making it an anthem for those who embrace a wild and adventurous lifestyle. However, it's essential to note that the song contains explicit content and may not be suitable for all audiences.
