lyrics

laughed and stood in stables
rides that lasted hours
i would wait your tables
and grant you total power

dead cowboys in my head
dead cowboys i shot dead
though i grieved, i am glad
happiness, god forbid

get yourself out if you want to do what's right
square up, hands out
hover over your piece, nice
sweating blinking shaking wincing
don't think twice
reaching grabbing drawing
killing this pig tonight

bam!
you're dead and i don't care
what the sheriff says
you never respected me
and i would rather raise these youth alone
than in the presence of a yellow coward

get yourself out if you want to do what's right
square up, hands out
hover over your piece, nice
sweating blinking shaking wincing
don't think twice
reaching grabbing drawing
killing this pig tonight

dead cowboys in my head
