I met a guy from NJ that looked like a wannabee cowboy and I made the song like he was a real one.

Lyrics

Ain't no Cowboys in New Jersey
by Joanne Tramonte and Paul Wilson(C) 6-09
V-1
He's pickin' corn and bailin' hay
risin' at the break of day
Forearms poppin' 'neath his sweaty shirt
Ropin' a calf, boots grind in the dirt
Pullin' with all of his might
Rustlin' cattle 'til the break of night
Chorus:
But their ain't no cowboys in New Jersey
One horse towns, casinos dirty
Slums in Newark, gangs after dark
He's a Jersey man with a cowboy's heart
V-2
Tobacco chaw in his right cheek
Spies the cabin by the creek
Pulls up the strap of his old suspenders
tips back his Stetson, rests on John Deere's fender
Hums little Country tunes,
Sounds like Merle, Hank, Patsy, and June
CHORUS
Bridge:
Wishin' that torn ,muscle coulda been
from a bronco instead of the gym
Knowin' deep in his western heart
that he was born a cowboy from the very start
CHORUS
Tag: Maybe there's one, maybe just one cowboy in New Jersey,
