My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
by: Tank Johnson
I grew up dreamin’ of bein’ a Cowboy,
and lovin’ the Cowboy ways.
Pursuin’ the life of my coke-snortin’ heroes,
I smoked weed through my college days.
I learned of all the rules of the modern-day criminal,
And did my best to get out of Chi-town.
A gun-totin’ athlete, of course Jerry wants me,
He likes how Tank Johnson gets down.
My heroes have always been Cowboys.
Or since at least ninety-three
I did my jail time, then fucked up again,
Just so Jerry Jones would sign me
Cowboys are special with their own way of partyin’,
With firearms and strippers and crack.
You could die from the drugs, or just contract herpes,
But when you’re high, you don’t think about that.
Pickin’ up hookers around Corinth and Harwood,
I don’t worry that it might be a sting.
Because if I’m arrested, well that’s nothing new.
Hey, what does “recidivism” mean?
My heroes have always been Cowboys.
Or since at least ninety-three.
I did my jail time, then fucked up again,
Just so Jerry Jones would sign me.
I did my jail time, then fucked up again
Just so Jerry Jones would sign me.
