Cowboy Troy - I Play Chicken With The Train

With this election season's theme of change, here's something from the not your father's country music category.

Cowboy Troy is a country rapper, performing - as he calls it - "Hick Hop". "I Play Chicken With The Train" was his first release (from the album "Loco Motive") in 2005, and was briefly the #1 country download from iTunes.

Fans of CMT's Nashville Star TV show will remember him co-hosting a couple of seasons, one with Wynona and one with Jewel.

And who knows? Maybe now he's hoping for some political change. He performed at the 2008 Republican convention in St. Paul.

(Chorus)
I play chicken with the train
Play chicken with the train train
Unh huh huh unh huh huh
You know that I play chicken with the train
Play chicken with the train train
Unh huh huh unh huh huh yeah

(Rap)
Hold 'em up! Here we go!
All the hicks and chicks feel the flow
Big black train comin 'round the bend
Gwone kinfolk tell ya mamanem
Chug-a-lugga, chug-a-lugga, chug-a-lugga who?
The big blackneck comin' through to you
Boy you done fell and bumped your head
Uh huh that's what they said
People said it's impossible,
Not probable, too radical
But I already been on the CMA's
Hell Tim McGraw said he like the change
And he likes the way my hick-hop sounds
And the way the crowd screams when I stomp the ground
I'm big and black, clickety-clack
And I make the train jump the track like that

(Chorus)

From mic to cassette deep into your ear
My voice is your choice that you wanted to hear
Southern boy makin' noise where the buffalo roam
Flesh, denim and bone as you might have known
See me ridin' into town like a desperado
With a big belt buckle, the cowboy bravado
All over the world wide web you'll see
Download CBT on an mp3
Speak clearly what I'm sayin' so you'll comprehend
Hit the net for hick-hop radio, tune in
Rollin' like thunder on the scene
It's kinda hard to describe if you know what I mean
I never claimed to be the hardest of the roughest hard rocks
But I'm boomin' out yo' box
Skills got you jumpin' outch'a socks
From Texas here I come, movin' yo body with a bass kick drum!

(Chorus)

(Spoken)
I play chicken with the train
Play chicken with the train train
Unh huh huh unh huh huh
I play chicken with the train
Play chicken with the train train

(Chorus)

(Spoken)
Huh!
Yeah!
One time!
Get you some of that!

Not your father's country music. Boy, howdy.

Get you some of that.
