"$10 Cowboy" lyrics

I'm a ten-dollar cowboy
Baby that's a fact
I got some inhibitions
That might be holding me back
I've been seeing this portrait
Attached to a small fee

For a ten-dollar cowboy
Who looks a lot like me

If you're a ten-dollar cowboy
Then you already know
That there never was a rider
Who couldn't be thrown
Even Billy McClain
Fell off a time or two

He was a ten-dollar cowboy
Who looked a lot like you

I'm a ten-dollar cowboy
I play a little guitar
People always ask me
If I'm a rodeo star
Doubt if I got eight seconds
But I can sing you a song
Like a big bullrider
I'm steady holding on

You see the ten-dollar cowboy
He leads a colorful life
Don't you worry about him
He knows he'll only die twice
Like Billy McClain
He's the last of his breed

He's just a ten-dollar cowboy
Who looks a lot like me

He looks a lot like me

He looks a lot like me
Yeah

When I was out there on them street corners
Learning to stand behind this guitar
Ten dollars was a whole lot of money
Cowboy
Cowboy singer
Both highly hazardous occupations
Look out!
