They laughed with me 
Then laughed at me 
They said "how true" 
They said "not you" 
They thought how wise 
Then thought goodbye 
Your hit your stride 
Then Mr. Hyde 
(Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em) 
They laughed with me 
Then laughed at me 
They said "how true" 
They said "not you" 
They thought how wise 
Then thought goodbye 
Your hit your stride
Then Mr. Hyde 
Ride 'em 
I got thrown again 
Ride 'em 
Get back on again 

I swam, I sank 
Top seed, unranked 
The pole, the wall 
The pride, the fall 
A state of grace 
Slapped in the face 
A state of mind 
Then card declined 

From great to good 
From good to fair 
To barely pass 
Stay after class 

I'm hot I'm cold 
I'm bought, I'm sold 
First accolades 
Then hand grenades 
They hate your look 
They hate your book 
They hate your guts 
You've heard enough 
It's not your day 
It's not your week 
It's not your month 
It's not your year 

First AOK 
Then IOU 
BMOC 
Then MIA 
From DIY 
To DUI 
From 411 
To 911 
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em 
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em 

First AOK 
Then IOU 
BMOC 
Then MIA 
From DIY 
To DUI 
From 411 
To 911 

From soup to nuts 
From job to cuts 
From sure to chance 
From can to can'ts 
From smart to dumb 
From bread to crumbs 
From wowed to bored 
Ole, then gored 
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em 
I got thrown again 
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em 
Get back on again 

From just desserts 
To just desserts 
From you're for me 
To ca suffit 
From bon vivant 
To sycophant 
From open door 
To merde alors 
From just desserts

From you're for me

Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em 

I got thrown again 
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em 
Get back on again 
Ride 'em Cowboy
