Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I woke up this mornin', feelin' like John Wayne
But my day went south, faster than a runaway train
Choked on my straw, got a hole in my boot
My three-day beard, well, it's raisin' a hoot
Tried to saddle up, but the horse said no
Stepped in a pile, now I move real slow
Slipped on the barn floor, landed on my back
This clumsy cowboy's luck, it's way off track
[Pre-Chorus]
My wife’s yellin', “Trim that mess!”
As I stumble 'round, in distress
I'm the clumsy cowboy, ain't it grand?
Life's a rodeo, without a plan
[Chorus]
I'm the clumsy cowboy, havin' a bad day
Kicked by a cow, in a painful way
Milk's gone sour, chickens are mad
Prairie dust in my eyes, makes me feel so bad
[Verse 2]
Went to feed the chickens, they gave me the eye
One pecked my hand, made me wanna cry
The milk in the barn, turned sour as can be
And the rooster crowed, right at me
Tripped on a bucket, fell into the hay
Got a splinter in my finger, it ain't my day
The tractor won't start, it's outta gas
And I ripped my jeans, on a rusty old fence post
[Pre-Chorus]
My wife’s yellin', “Get it together!”
As I face this cowboy weather
I'm the clumsy cowboy, what a sight
Tryin' to make it through this crazy plight
[Chorus]
I'm the clumsy cowboy, havin' a bad day
Kicked by a cow, in a painful way
Milk's gone sour, chickens are mad
Prairie dust in my eyes, makes me feel so bad
[Verse 3]
Hay fever's got me sneezin', can't catch a break
Tripped on a rake, landed in the lake
Dust in my eyes, can't see a thing
I ain't John Wayne, but I can sing
Fence needs mendin', but I lost my tools
Cow's in the kitchen, breakin' all the rules
Dog ran off with my only hat
This clumsy cowboy, what's up with that?
[Pre-Chorus]
My wife’s yellin', “Fix this mess!”
As I face another test
I'm the clumsy cowboy, what a day
Livin' life in a hapless way
[Chorus]
I'm the clumsy cowboy, havin' a bad day
Kicked by a cow, in a painful way
Milk's gone sour, chickens are mad
Prairie dust in my eyes, makes me feel so bad
[Chorus]
I'm the clumsy cowboy, havin' a bad day
Kicked by a cow, in a painful way
Milk's gone sour, chickens are mad
Prairie dust in my eyes, makes me feel so bad
[Outro]
So here's to the cowboys, clumsy as can be
Life's a wild ride, just wait and see
I might not be John Wayne, but I've got my charm
Just a clumsy cowboy, livin' life on the farm
Just a clumsy cowboy, livin' life on the farm
[Fade to End]
[End]
