"Cowboy" is a song by American musician Kid Rock from his fourth studio album, Devil Without a Cause, released as the album's fourth single in August 1999. It was his first single to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 82, while reaching number five on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. With its lyrics about pimping and traveling to California, the song is considered to be one of Kid Rock's best works and has been claimed as influencing modern country music, and it has been labeled the first country rap song. In 2018, the staff of Metal Hammer included the video in the site's list of "the 13 best nu metal videos".
