They laughed with me, then laughed at me
They said "how true", they said "not you"
They thought how wise, then thought goodbye
Your hit your stride, then Mr. Hyde

They laughed with me then laughed at me (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
They said "how true", they said "not you" (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
They thought how wise, then thought goodbye (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
Your hit your stride, then Mr. Hyde (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)

Ride 'em, I got thrown again
Ride 'em, get back on again
Ride 'em, I got thrown again
Ride 'em, get back on again

I swam, I sank, top seed, unranked (Get back on again)
The pole, the wall, the pride, the fall (Get, get, get, again)
A state of grace, slapped in the face (Get back on again)
A state of mind, then card declined (Get, get, get, again)

From great to good, from good to fair
To barely pass, stay after class
I'm hot, I'm cold, I'm bought, I'm sold
First accolades, then hand grenades

They hate your look, they hate your book (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
They hate your guts, you've heard enough (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
It's not your day, it's not your week (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
It's not your month, it's not your year (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
First A-OK, then IOU
BMOC, then MIA
From DIY to DUI
From 411 to 911

Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em (Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)

From soup to nuts, from job to cuts
From sure to chance, from can to can'ts
From smart to dumb, from bread to crumbs
From wowed to bored, "Olé" then gored

Ride 'em cowboy, I got thrown again
Ride 'em cowboy, get back on again
Ride 'em cowboy, I got thrown again
Ride 'em cowboy, get back on again
Get back on again, get back on again, get back on again
From just desserts to just deserts
From you're for me to ça suffit
From bon vivant to sycophant
From open door to merde alors
