I think someone wants to be a lone player. You know; a cowboy.

Cowboy

[to the tune of Cowboy by Kid Rock]


        Well I told my momma video games would pay the bills

        cause out west there's dot com gold in them thar hills

        Find a team with a dream and I'l show'em how it's done

        with a taste of my uzi all the bad guys run


        And I'm a CowBoy who can code all night

        With a bottle of jolt till the dawn's early light

        Buy a jag with cash 'cause the first game flipped

        And we could'a wrote a sequel but the code base dripped


        Sellout short, take my goods on the run,

        Seek a second-year startup cookin' up Web Site fun.

        Teach them just one thing... I hit the road

        and they can't teach me nothin' fools just watch me code


        Start a naming convention, that changes each day

        And start a committee to interpret what my comments say

        CowBoy don't need no code rewiews

        And I'm a headin' out west, sucker...because I wanna be a


        Cowboy baby

        With a laptop open down in Silicon Valley


        Cowboy baby

        Takin' West Coast VeeCees out for a ride


        I wanna be a Cowboy baby

        Codin' at night cause I sleep all day


        Cowboy baby

        I can smell a guru from a mile away


        I bet you'll catch my bugs a bitin' before I get to work

        But to fix each one I'l charge you your shirt

        Throned king, WebRing, followin' my own star

        I once was common but I know who you are


        I work all alone so don't cross my past

        Never pair never share and I always cast

        And if the price is right I'm gonna make my show on

        Your code base stylin' for a job-hop hoe-down


        Cowboy baby

        With a laptop open down in Silicon Valley


        Cowboy baby

        Takin' West Coast VeeCees out for a ride


        I wanna be a Cowboy baby

        Codin' at night cause I sleep all day


        Cowboy baby

        I can smell a guru from a mile away


        Yeah, I'm a CowBoy you can call me Boss

        Cause the dot coms' crashed left me on top


        Seen a market for my code that you can't refactor

        And say, 'Yeah version two needs a crew down town to re-write her!'

        No kiddin, gun slingin, coupled-up un-zoom

        And I'l die long 'fore I work in a common code room


        No remorse for my style, in your eye it ain't right

        Your boss likes me better 'cause you ain't her type, uh

        Cause chaos, write like Saliere'

        Find an excuse for every abuse for my source code players


        Ninety line functions, seventeen parameters

        Copy-n-paste my way past KLOC-fright amateurs

        Why they wanna pick on me..? lock me out and hotcard my key

        I ain't no chief, my success is a failure


        I ain't straight outta grad school, writin' one big layer

        Cooooo-ment like a sailor, live at starbucks

        My only words of wisdom are just "make it work"

        I'm trickin' your runway down and out on a motion, and


        Keep on codin' until I fall in the ocean!


        Cowboy baby

        With a laptop open down in Silicon Valley


        Cowboy baby

        Takin' West Coast VeeCees out for a ride


        I wanna be a Cowboy baby

        Codin' at night cause I sleep all day


        Cowboy baby

        I can smell a guru from a mile away
