Who cares? I never get lonesome 'cause I treasure my own company.  
  
Chorus  
  
I guess you could say I'm a loner, a cowboy outlaw tough and proud.  
Oh, I could have lots of friends if I want to, but them I wouldn't stand out in a crowd/  
Some folks say that I'm egotistical.  Hell, I don't even know what that means.  
I guess it has something to do with the way that I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans.
