Send The Coyote & The Cowboy Ringtone to your Cell

Coyote's a survivor, I reckon he's got to be.
He lives in the snow at 40 below or Malibu by the sea.
An' I'm just an old cow puncher, I love to listen to his tune.
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote gets drunk on the moon.
(try 'er gang)
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote gets drunk on the moon.
(fantastic. try the whole verse all together now)

Well the cowboy is a conundrum, a contradiction in this age,
Well he says he's doin' fine on the poverty line with a workin' cowboy's wage.

The whiskey bottle cost 13 bucks, the big prairie moon is free.
So who is the dumber son of a bitch? The little coyote or me?
Yeh, who is the dumber son of a bitch? The little coyote or me? (take it)

* LEAD BREAK

So with thoughts of re-incarnation well I drifted off to dream.
I made it for life with a coyote wife and a bushy-tailed coyote queen.
Way down in the valley, at the old long noose saloon,
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye, we got drunk on the moon.
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye, we got drunk on the moon.
Everybody Take it home

Coyote's a survivor, I reckon he's got to be.
He lives in the snow at 40 below or Malibu by the sea.
An' I'm just an old cow puncher, I love to listen to his tune.
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote gets drunk on the moon.
(try 'er gang)
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote gets drunk on the moon.
