Well I have been a cowboy, dang near all my life   That good ol' cowboy music is all I'm supposed to like   But here lately I don't know what's happening   But I'm losin' control I'm losin' control to a little longhaired outlaw   Who's a ridin' somewhere deep down in my soul he likes rock and roll      Well he rides a pinto stallion down the canyons of my mind   Makes camp beneath a memory below the timberline   Got a little electric fender guitar plugs direct into my soul   Right into my soul turns up the volume   Bends them guitar strings and plays that rock and roll ah and here he goes      Well I can be do a concert strummin' along just fine   Playing Little Joe The Wrangler when somethin' snaps inside my mind   And I can feel that longhaired music wellin' up from the rivers of my soul   Where the music flows when that little longhair takes over   And makes me play that rock and roll      Now if you like cowboy music and you don't like this song   Well I'd like to apologize if the tune kinda came out wrong   But you see I can't help myself the little longhair has got control and he won't let go   But I'll get back to my cowboy music   But sometimes you gotta play a little rock and roll   It's my turn it's about time
