Murphey Michael Martin - Cosmic Cowboy lyrics

rate me

Burial grounds and merry-go-rounds

are all the same to me

Horses on posts and kids and ghosts

are spirits we ought to set free.

Them city slicker pickers got a lot of slicker licks than you and me

But ridin' the range and actin' strange

is where I want to be--

At.

I just wanna be a Cosmic Cowboy

I just wanna ride and rope and hoot

I just wanna be a Cosmic Cowboy

A supernatural country rockin' galoot

Lone Star sippin' and skinny dippin'

and steel guitars and stars

Are just as good as Hollywood

and them boogie woogie bars

I'm gonna buy me a vest and head out west

My little woman and myself

When we come to town they're gonna rather 'round

and marvel at my little baby's health

I just want to be a Cosmic Cowboy

I just want to ride and rope and hoot

I just want to be a Cosmic Cowboy

A supernatural country rockin' galoot.

Now big raccoons and harvest moons

keep rollin' through my mind

Home on the range where the antelope play is very hard to find

Don't bury me on the lone prairie

I'd rather play there live

I'm doin' my best to

keep my little pony in over-drive

I just wanna be a Cosmic Cowboy

I just wanna ride and rope and hoot

I just wanna be a Cosmic Cowboy

A supernatural country rockin' galoot

And up is not the way I'm gonna shoot

Thanks to Charles Fournier--I'm making these corrections from the liner notes to the original recording, as well as the recording itself, as well as having heard him perform the song live many times in Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin in the early 1970s. These corr for these lyrics
