Modest Mouse: Cowboy Dan

Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation, drinks and gets mean
And he's gonna start a war
He's gonna start a war
And he hops in his pickup, puts his pedal to the floor
And says, "I got mine, but I want more."

Because Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation, drinks and gets mean
He drove the desert, fired his rifle in the sky
And said, "God, if I have to die, you will have to die."

Because Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He didn't move to the city:
"The city moved to me,
And I want out desperately."

Can't do it
Not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over
Can't do it
Not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over
Don't know
not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over

Standing in the tall grass
Thinking nothing
You know
We need oxygen to breathe
Oxygen to breathe

Standing in the tall grass
Thinking nothing
You know
We need oxygen to breathe
Oxygen to breathe

Everytime you think you're walking,
You're just moving the ground
Everytime you think you're talking,
You're just moving your mouth
Everytime you think you're looking,
You're just looking down

Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation, drinks and gets mean
He hops in his pickup, puts the pedal to the floor
And says, "I got mine, but I want more."

'Cause Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation, drinks and gets mean
He drove the desert, fired his rifle in the sky
And says, "God, if I have to die, you will have to die."

Can't do it
Not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over
Can't do it
Not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over
No, no
Not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over
Yeah
Not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over
