	Story Behind the Song A woman explains how she will not comply with the conventional rules of sexism. Lyrics I'm in charge, I'm in command, I'm the boss, I'm a business woman, I can handle all of it, I can seal the deal, And if you try to stop me... I'll rip you wounds that won't heal. They say: "How you doing girlie?" They try to treat me like I'm a toy, And I say: "I ain't no girlie, I'm a god damn cowboy" I can party as hard as you do, You think you're "a man" because you can drink more than I do, Well I can do anything useful that you can do, And I can pick up too. Because you don't gotta be a man to get the job done! I can do it all, even with those pricks calling me "hon". They say: "How you doing girlie?" They try to treat me like I'm a toy, And I say: "I ain't no girlie, I'm a god damn cowboy" So you think you're tough, That you're going to break me down. That you're going to shut me the fuck up. You're going to push my face into the ground. So, You want to fight? You want to mess with me? Well just you start, We'll beat the shit out of each other, then maybe finally you'll see: They say: "How you doing girlie?" They try to treat me like I'm a toy, And I say: "I ain't no girlie, I'm a god damn cowboy" So how come the coyboys always seem to have more fun than the cowgirls do? And how come the stories are always about the cowboys taking care of everything, including cowgirls like you? I'm going to be my own bread-winner. I'm going to take care of myself! And if the men don't like that I'm not lady like, I guess I'll have to be a cowboy all by MYSELF!!! By myself... By myself... By myself! They say: "How you doing girlie?" They try to treat me like I'm a toy, And I say: "I ain't no girlie, I'm a god damn cowboy" I'm a coyboy I'm a coyboy I'm a coyboy I'm a coyboy I'm a coyboy
