Cowboy Mouth - Joe Strummer lyrics

rate me

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

She had all the tattoos and the piercings

Hates everything says everybody's wrong

She dressed like she slept with Guns and Roses

But I busted her singing all the boy band songs

She had to go simply because and I let her go like

she never was cause I didn't know and I don't

care what she does she had to go cause she

didn't know who Joe Strummer was Hey!

At night when we stood in line for hours waiting

to see my favorite punk rock band I played with

the passion and the power but she's only there

for all the fashion trends with her clueless friends

She had to go, she had to go simply because,

simply because, and I let her go, I let her go like

she never was, like she never was cause I didn't

know, cause I didn't know and I don't care what

she does, simply because, she had to go cause

she didn't know who Joe Strummer was, Joe

Strummer was, Joe Strummer was

She started talkin' bout me and my life but why

would I wanna be with someone who doesn’t

know the Clash save my life Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Go!

It's not that she didn't rock my *casbah* it's not that

I couldn't burn her London down, it's just that she

kept on disappearing whenever the *Sandinistas*

came to town and burned it down

She had to go, she had to go simply because,

simply because, and I let her go, I let her go like

she never was, like she never was cause I didn't

know, cause I didn't know and I don't care what

she does, simply because, she had to go cause

she didn't know who Joe Strummer was, Joe

Strummer was, Joe Strummer was, Joe Strummer

was, Joe Strummer was, Joe Strummer was, Joe

Strummer was, Joe Strummer was

She had to go, (she don't know) she had to go,

(she don't know) she had to go, (she don't know)

she had to go (she don't know) Go! Hey! Hey!

Hey!
