Cowboy Movies Lyrics

Waylon Jennings

Verse 1:
My dad talks a lot about cowboys
Like John Wayne and people I don't even know
I like the cartoons on Saturday morning
'Cause I'm only four years old

Chorus:
But my dad just loves cowboy movies
He even bought me a big cowboy hat
And when I put it on with my boots and my Levi's
I can tell that he really likes that

Bridge:
Yod-el-ay-ee-ay de-lay-ee-o de-lay-ee

Verse 2:
I love to watch Nickelodeon
You might say I grew up on Sesame Street
My favorites are Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch
And I think the muppets are neat

Chorus:
But my dad just loves cowboy movies
He's never heard of Ernie and Bert
I'm just not a cowboy, I guess I'm a nowboy
And I sure hope his feeling's aren't hurt

Bridge (x2).
