`` Cowboy '' is a song by Kid Rock .
In 2002 , the music group Boys Do n't Cry filed suit against Kid Rock , claiming the sing was derivative of their 1986 synth-pop track `` I Wan na Be a Cowboy '' , and alleged that Kid Rock , while DJ'ing in Detroit , had played the song ; the suit claimed that Kid Rock had taken the bassline and adapted his chorus from the 1986 song.
