Lyrics:

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 vends them guitar strings and plays that rock and roll

Ah and here he goes

[ guitar ]

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 oh yeah

[ keyboards ]

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

[ guitar ]
