"I wanna be a cowboy" song (NOT by Boys Don't Cry...different song)?
Here's a tough one...I only heard this song once. It was on a radio station in the San Diego, CA area in the mid 1990s. (Probably 91X, knowing my roommates at the time.) It starts off with a faux country sound, with some guy singing about how he wants to be a cowboy, then somewhere in the middle of the song, it switches to a hardcore electro-industrial sort of sound, and the guy continues to sing "I wanna be a cowboy".
I've heard the Boys Don't Cry song, and that is NOT it. But I've never been able to track down who made the song. Stylistically, it sounds more like Mighty Force than any other band I can think of.
Any ideas?
No, it's not "Cowboy" by Kid Rock...pretty good guess, though...
It's also not "Urban Struggle" by the Vandals...that starts off sounding punk, and continues to sound punk. Another good guess, though.
I think I would have recognized Stanard Ridgway's voice if it was Wall Of Voodoo. I don't mind being wrong, though.

..but ya know what, they released a 7" single of mexican radio with slightly different lyrics and distortion. it might be that one.

Could it be Cowboy by Kid Rock? I came out in 1999, but it sounds kind of what you are thinking of.
Here is the link to the video:
