Still a Few Cowboys Left
Riding into the Sunset: Unveiling the Last of the True Cowboys
Lyrics
Every day at sundown he rides fences
Every day at sundown, he patrols the fences, ensuring their integrity.
Checking gates and stretching barbwire
He checks gates and repairs barbed wire, maintaining the ranch's infrastructure.
And after all the holes are mended
After fixing all the gaps, he rests his head on his saddle beside a fire.
He lays his head back on his saddle by a fire
He takes a moment to relax, appreciating the warmth of a fire under the night sky.
Chorus:
Chorus: Despite the passage of time, it feels like the late 19th century. The imagery evokes the spirit of the cowboy lifestyle, emphasizing their resilience and existence.
Sounds like eighteen eighty-nine
-Listening to the coyote cry
-Somewhere under that moon tonight
-There's still a few cowboys left
-For all the strays that ain't been roped
-All the broncs that ain't been broke
-For all the west that ain't been won yet
-There's still a few cowboys left
-There's still a few girls out there that want one
There are still women who desire a cowboy, appreciating his rugged qualities.
That dirt on his neck rough edges and all
Describing the cowboy's appearance—dirt on his neck and rough edges.
Sometimes hard to love but he won't run
While challenging to love at times, he doesn't shy away from difficulties.
That bottle by the bed, whiskey on his breath, boots on the floor and hat hanging on the wall
Details of the cowboy's lifestyle: a bottle by the bed, whiskey breath, boots on the floor, and a hat hanging on the wall.
Chorus:
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the enduring presence of cowboys despite changing times.
