[Verse 1]
I hate cowboys
Their hats just look so stupid
Hate their Wranglers and their boots
And all them jukebox red-dirt songs
Man, I hate cowboys
They think they're scared of nothin'
Run their mouths about bulls buckin'
But eight seconds ain't that long
I wish they'd stay their ass at home

[Chorus]
'Cause they think that they're John Wayne walkin' through the door
Turnin' every head includin' yours
Pretty thing that's never seen one before
Has got a thing for bad guys, yeah
They ask her to dance while you're at the bar
Starts talkin' 'bout thеm Texas stars
Next thing you know, you got a broken hеart
She's gone and that's why I hate cowboys

[Verse 2]
How they're gone just like the wind
He took a hard one on the chin
And I still ended up on the losin' end
[Chorus]
'Cause they think that they're John Wayne walkin' through the door
Turnin' every head includin' yours
Pretty thing that's never seen one before
Has got a thing for bad guys, yeah
They ask her to dance while you're at the bar
Starts talkin' 'bout them Texas stars
Next thing you know, you got a broken heart
She's gone and that's why I hate cowboys

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I hate cowboys

[Bridge]
I hear they ain't all bad and that might be true
But the ones I run into

[Chorus]
Man, they think that they're John Wayne walkin' through the door
Turnin' every head includin' yours
Pretty thing that's never seen one before
Has got a thing for bad guys, yeah
They ask her to dance while you're at the bar
Starts talkin' 'bout them Texas stars
Next thing you know, you got a broken heart
She's gone and that's why I hate cowboys
[Post-Chorus]
Yes, I do
Yeah, that's why I hate cowboys

[Outro]
From Texarkana over to Oklahoma
Up in Montana to California
While she's yours, you better hold on tight
'Cause once she rides into the night
You'll hate cowboys
Just like I hate cowboys, yeah
