I'm a cowboy, I'm a man
Sometimes it's hard to be true
So when I'm feeling randy, and there's temptation handy
I remember these ten deadly sins

I'll be good to my mum and my papa
'Cos they've always been good to me

I'll try not to talk dirty, or let myself get shirty
'Cos that ain't what a good cowboy should do
I'll try not to wet in my bed
I'll try not to get out of my head

So if you hear me cryin'
You'll know that I've been lyin'
Letting all these sins pass me by

Ten deadly sins, ten deadly sins
They're sometimes real hard not to do
Ten deadly sins, ten deadly sins
All I want to do is what I do

I'll always be faithful to my wife, i'll always treat her fair in life
I won't get out of order, I'll treat her like I ought 'ter
'Cos that ain't what a good cowboy should do

I'll try not to get hooked on vice
I won't make the same mistake twice
So if you hear me cryin', you'll know that I've been lyin'
Drinking with some old friend of mine

Ten deadly sins, ten deadly sins
Sometimes it's hard not to do
Ten deadly sins, ten deadly sins
All I wanna' be is what I am

I've hit the booze, i've hit the wife
I've hit the kids all of their short lives

Ten deadly sins, ten deadly sins, All I wanna' be is what I am

I'll be good to my mum and my papa
'cos they've always been good to me
So if you hear me cryin', you'll know that I've been lyin'
I've let all these sins pass me by
