lyrics

What kind of cowboy do you think you are,
What kind of cowboy do you think you are?
'Cause you should be sleeping
with one eye open, one foot on the floor

Leo says you go through women like you go through chew
Leo says you go through women like you go through chew
And bullets ain't the only thing that been
flyin' out of you

I saw Annie Oakley cleaning your gun
And Belle Starr was dancing on a table top in the raw
With your eyes as bright as the coins
you throw, Gabriel

Jacob says you like your women small and dark
Jacob says you like your women small and dark
And I'm as tall and as pale as that nag you
call a horse, horse, horse

Tell me something cowboy do you like spurs in
your back when you ride into that perfect sunset
painted Hollywood Pink and Taco Bell Beige?
Dark hair blowin' in the Devil's Wind and a
six-shooter in your hand
A western hero's much more than a man
but maybe only Sam Peckinpah understands

Everybody knows a cowboy's got no home
Everybody knows a cowboy's got no home
And loneliness is his whiskey and he always
drinks alone

Damn your kind I'll see your face in hell
And I'll be the one pushing dirty water into your cell
No more begging Jesús to break this spell, well
I'll accept hell with you Gabriel
Heaven couldn't hold a candle to you, Gabriel
