lyrics

TRANSCENDENTAL COWBOY
by Phil Robinson

CHORUS:
I'm a transcendental cowboy, with the existential blues
Here's the solipsistic, meta-transcendental news:
There's more than just one recipe, girl, to feel good about what you choose
So when it comes down to it, do what you gotta' do

VERSE 1:
You could read a book by Sartre, read a book by Camus
There's a thousand different faces out there, and a thousand points of view
If seein' is believin', throw your hands up in the air
And say, "Hell yeah!" ("Hell Yeah!")

CHORUS:
I'm a transcendental cowboy, with the existential blues
Here's the solipsistic, meta-transcendental news:
There's more than just one recipe, girl, to feel good about what you choose
So when it comes down to it, do what you gotta' do

VERSE 2:
You could light yourself some candles, light up someone's eyes
Go back to the sixties right now and retro-psychadelicize
‘Cause feelin' is believin', throw your hands up in the air
And say, "Hell yeah!" ("Hell Yeah!")

BRIDGE:
I'm a transcendental, existential, sentimental, solipsistic
Lower upper-middle-class, white-bread suburban mystic
Went away to school, and had my world-view rotated
Some would even say, slightly over-educated
Tryin' to find a way to set myself free
In my heart of hearts, just a Bruce Springsteen wannabe
Workin' all day, singin' all night
Doin' alright... "Whew!"

[HARMONICA SOLO]

CHORUS:
I'm a transcendental cowboy, with the existential blues
Here's the solipsistic, meta-transcendental news:
There's more than just one recipe, girl, to feel good about what you choose
So when it comes down to it, do what you gotta' do
When it comes down to it, do what you gotta'
When it comes down to it, do what you gotta' do...
