Pickup Cowboy

He's a pickup cowboy, crying up I-35.
He went and got his heart broke down in South Padre Island.
Now he's driving to Sioux Falls with two bald tires.
He's a pickup cowboy.

He's a lowly roller. He don't need much money,
living on buffalo jerky and tupelo honey,
and fishing for breakfast in the muddy Missouri.
He's a pickup cowboy.

Good dogs get better 'til they die, until they die.

He's an Indian summer back in South Dakota
sleeping in his tipi and living like a Lakota
with his long blond hair and his long blue yodel.
He's a pickup cowboy.
