Rootin, Tootin, Shootin (or, Cowboys are pretty gay)
As we shoot cans off rotted wood and into the grass
I wonder, are you the copper pellet or the tin?
But just as fast as the bead the thought has come to pass
We've been rootin', tootin', but we ain't been boot scootin'
Despite how you tease me for my soft hands I'll admit
it's been fun, goofing off in the sun, getting shit done
Trading campfire stories and our dumb little tidbits
Before going to bed and polishing our toy guns
It's been over a year since you rode into this town
with each passing day, my hands have only grown rougher
than they were when I held your cheek and you pulled me down
that summer night when the beer got rid of the buffer
But I ain't a queer and you claim that you ain't either
We bring women home and buck loud so the other hears
It's pure testosterone, you'd rather be beneath her
than actin out boyhood, scuffin' knees and dryin' tears
Playing rough is a selfish desire that needs to be nursed
How ‘bout it cowboy? Let's meet at high noon, see who shoots first
