The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

Bad Boy Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
(larry williams)
A bad little boy moved into the neighborhood
He wont do nothin right just a-sittin got to look so good
He dont wanna go to school and learn to read and write
Just sits around the house and plays that rock n roll music all night
Well, he put thumbtacks on teachers chair
Put chewing gum in lil girls hair
Now junior, behave yourself!
Buys every rock n roll book on the magazine stand
Every dime that he gets, oh is off to the juke box man
Well, he worries his teacher till shes a-ready to poop
From rockin and a rollin spinnin in a hula-hoop
Well, his rock n roll has gotta stop
Juniors head is hard as rock
Now junior, behave yourself!
Gonna tell your mama youd better do what she said
Get to the barber shop and get that hair cut off your head
You shoot the canary and you fed it to the neighboors cat
You gave the cocker spaniel a bath in mothers laundromat
Well, your mama said its gotta stop
Juniors head is hard as rock
Now junior, behave yourself!
