I was walking down broadway

New york

New york

Tony llama boots and a stetson hat

Proud to be a country boy

Just then a messenger called me

Rasta man on the road

He said

'You gotta get the rhythm of the islands

Help me carry my load'

You've got to get into reggae cowboy

Shuffle them boots on the street

Get into reggae cowboy

Feel that reggae beat

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

His message hit me like a brick man

First I laughed

Then I cried

Somewhere between jamaica and nashville

I realized

I'd live my life

These days I sit in my garden

Soft refrains on a steel guitar

Beautiful rhythms on the trade winds

Blowing in to a florida farm

They tell me get into reggae cowboy

Shuffle them boots on the street

Get into reggae cowboy

Feel that reggae beat

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

You've got to get into reggae cowboy

Get into reggae cowboy

Get into reggae cowboy

Get into reggae cowboy
