I'm a Yahoo

Ears up, honey, money don't grow on trees
So if you wanna walk away with a fistful of dollars
You oughta listen to me

You see, I'm a little good, along with plenty bad
But ugly is something I simply never had
A buckin' bronco never stops kickin'
So while the clock's tickin' here's the thing about the wicked

If you lay 'em to rest, they ain't gonna sleep good
So put me on ice, even though you know I won't keep put
I'll get back in the saddle and leave this whole galaxy shook
I'm all of Buzz Aldrin, crossed with Clint Eastwood

Around the Outer Worlds, I've found no boundaries
Just stores of resources and thousands of bounties
Break any law that I want, that's the only flaw that I've got
This bandit's raisin' the bar, now step right up for your shot

This cantina's full of dreamers, and lately I've been spacin'
'Cause playin' by the rules? Well, that ain't my vocation
If light has set the speed limit, why not try to break it?
Hell, I did it in my sleep, while in cryostasis

But I grew tired of lyin' in wait in hibernation
Now that I'm wide awake, this system is mine to take and
Become the reason all these leader's heads are kind of achin'
I'm the problem to their solution, no solvin' my equation

'Cause I'm the unseen variable
In this prison, just to breathe is deemed charitable
I know the board has priorities, but I'm bored of authority
I guess playin' rebel is becomin' sort of a sport to me

I'm a galactic gunslinger, such a dangerous dude
I'm a lone ranger, and this ain't a planet for two
So plant your lips on my ass, now you're the man in my moon
If you're a space cowboy, it's you I'm panderin' to

You gotta get up off your wazoo
Singin' yeehaw, yippee ki-yay
Holla back if you're a yahoo
Save a highroad, take the highway
Life's wild on the final frontier
No denyin', I'm the fliest one here
'Cause bucko, I'm a yahoo
Yappin' yeehaw, yippee ki-yay

Welcome to the interstellar rodeo
I used to be a nobody, soon you'll get to know me though
Especially the whole board, 'cause I'm gonna clean this slate
Theodore Roosevelt would've been rollin' in his grave

With this sordid corporate takeover, I'll sort it
If you're onboard with 'em, consider your mission aborted
'Cause we brought our space force, and we're not sharin' orbit
If you wasn't scared yet, prepare for terror-formin'

We gettin' rowdy on the Halcyon Colony
Tearin' down monopolies without an apology
Got a bounty on my head, but now I'm proud of it, honestly
All my fellow cowboys, mount your saddles and follow me

And ride thy steed at times three lightspeed
Wanna see my license? Like I need ID
Step into the Emerald Vale and set my wild side free
Think you got a quickdraw? Skin your pistol, try me

What a shame, you ain't a daisy at all
Better to end up in a coffin than locked in Tartarus walls
Although it may be cold in space, I ain't takin' the fall
If you blame my Shrink Ray for the state of your balls

It's been a long journey, guess it could've gone worse
You got a lot to learn from me, they woke me up first
You be careful who you trust, sometimes trust hurts
I only trust my gun, and it just works

You gotta get up off your wazoo
Singin' yeehaw, yippee ki-yay
Holla back if you're a yahoo
Save a highroad, take the highway
Life's wild on the final frontier
No denyin', I'm the fliest one here
'Cause bucko, I'm a yahoo
Yappin' yeehaw, yippee ki-yay

You gotta get up off your wazoo
Singin' yeehaw, yippee ki-yay
Holla back if you're a yahoo
Save a highroad, take the highway
Life's wild on the final frontier
No denyin', I'm the fliest one here
'Cause bucko, I'm a yahoo
Yappin' yeehaw, yippee ki-yay
