lyrics

Eggs sunny side fresh coffee beans
slab of bacon leather boots and a pair of jeans
has to leave his Smith and Wesson at home
instead he fills his leather holster with a cellular phone
Knob Creek and a lipper of chaw
drinkin' whiskey lovin' Jesus and abidin' the law
owned a horse, but he traded it clean
for a Macintosh computer and a fax machine
Dolly Parton is the queen of his dreams
he likes his daily dose of nicotine and gasoline

dooditdoodoodoo-dooditdoodoodoo

The modern cowboy never loses his touch
he seeks adventure but it's never enough
ridin' in the saddle ain't for me
He packs the herd in his SUV
buyin' pre-rolled packs of smokes- buy one get on free
what else can a modern cowboy do?

Bolo tie and a sequin shirt
with a four gallon Stetson as he's headin' to church
Just for Men to keep his mustache brown
grows potatoes and tomatoes then he sells em in town
he's raisin' chickens and he's learnin' to read
he'll eat anything that walks, he's a grillin' machine
owned a horse, but he traded it clean
for a Macintosh computer and a fax machine
Dolly Parton is the queen of his dreams
he likes his daily dose of nicotine and gasoline

dooditdoodoodoo-dooditdoodoodoo

The modern cowboy never loses his touch
he seeks adventure but it's never enough
ridin' in the saddle ain't for me
he packs the herd in his SUV
buyin' pre-rolled packs of smokes- buy one get one free
what else can a modern cowboy do?

Eggs sunny side fresh coffee beans
slab of bacon leather boots and a pair of jeans
Sunday mornings he'll be trimmin' his lawn
drinkin' beers with Lynyrd Skynyrd cause he thinks that he's a winner
has to leave his Smith and Wesson at home
instead he fills his leather holster with a cellular phone
Knob Creek and a lipper of chaw
drinkin' whiskey lovin' Jesus and abidin' the law
