City Boy's Dream
Riding into Freedom: Adam Gregory's City Boy's Dream
Lyrics
I dreamt last night I was far away
I had a dream last night of being in a distant place.
Where coyotes howl and cotton woods sway
In this place, coyotes are howling, and cottonwood trees are swaying.
Casting shadows in firelight
There are shadows cast by the firelight.
A cowboy moon burns so bright
The moon in this dream is vivid and has a cowboy-like quality.
And I don't care if it's rain or shine
I am indifferent to weather conditions, and my problems will be far behind.
And all my troubles will be miles behind
All my troubles will be left behind for miles.
Untie the reins and change my course
I want to untie the reins of my life and change my direction.
And close my eyes and saddle my horse
I'll close my eyes, symbolizing a readiness to embark on a new journey, and saddle my horse.
Out in the open where the buffalo roam
I desire to be in the open, where buffalo roam freely.
That's where I'll make my home
That open space is where I want to establish my home.
Don't need no highway, don't need no roof
I don't need traditional routes or shelter; the truth is known to those living like cactus cowboys.
Cactus cowboys know the truth
Cowboys in this lifestyle understand a deeper truth.
I've been living in a Roy Roger's song
My life feels like a song by Roy Rogers, embodying a Western and adventurous spirit.
Something 'bout where my heart belongs
There's something about this place that feels like where my heart truly belongs.
My horse and I will never give in
Both my horse and I are resilient; we won't give in to challenges.
We'll ride away in a western wind
We'll ride away together, carried by a western wind.
I dreamt last night I was far away
Repetition of the dream, emphasizing the desire to be in that distant place.
Where coyotes howl and the cotton woods sway
The dream includes the howling of coyotes and the swaying of cottonwood trees.
