Careless cowboy rides again

tried to lose my mind--the shrink said 'go home, boy'
tried to shoot myself--but the gun was a toy
tried to drink poison, but the body thwarted
tried to jump down--but the flight was aborted
oh yeah yeah, alive again--careless cowboy and the finest green
oh yeah oh yeah, is this a joke? hey mama, hear me rock
tried to cut my veins--'Leningrad' failed, and all other brands can go to hell
tried to hang myself--my ex came, knocked on my face and left again
oh yeah yeah, alive again--careless cowboy and the finest green
oh yeah oh yeah, is this a joke? hey grandma, hear me rock
then i thought to get wasted, and my buddies came
with booze, and paid all the debts to a cent
then i felt like doing three at once--
and when i woke up in the morning, it felt like i was gone
oh yeah yeah, alive or dead? tell me, careless cowboy, where you at?
oh yeah oh yeah, is this a joke? hey mama, hear me rock
oh yeah yeah, alive again--careless cowboy and the finest green
oh yeah oh yeah, joke for a joke: hey grandma, hear me rock
