Thank The Cowboy For The Ride
Gratitude in the Sunset: A Love Story Through Broomstick Rides
Lyrics
Well he was pushing seven she was barely five
Describing the age of the characters, a boy around seven and a girl around five.
He rode up on his broomstick horse and said you wanna ride
The boy, using imagination, offers the girl a playful "ride" on his broomstick horse.
His boots made a funny sound cause they were his daddy's size
The boy's boots are too big for him, emphasizing his young age and innocence.
His hat keep slippin' down below his eyes
His hat keeps slipping, another detail highlighting the boy's youthful playfulness.
And they rode off in the sunset down the sidewalk
Describing a playful scene of the two riding off together in an imaginative way.
She laughed at him every time that he talked
Despite his playful antics, the girl laughs at him affectionately.
His two front teeth were missin' but he had the cutest smile
Describing the boy's appearance, missing front teeth but a cute smile.
She thanked the cowboy for the ride
The girl expresses gratitude to the boy for the playful "ride."
Well he was seventeen the next time he rode up
Time has passed, and the boy is now seventeen, introducing a new stage in their relationship.
She'd never seen inside a pickup truck
She experiences something new, riding in a pickup truck with him.
Well he was tall and handsome smiling cuter than before
Describing the boy's physical transformation into a tall and handsome young man.
He'd grown up to fit them boots he wore
He has grown into the boots he wears, indicating maturity.
And they rode off in the sunset down the highway
They continue their journey together, now on a highway, symbolizing life's journey.
They took their time gettin' home the back way
Taking their time signifies a more mature and deliberate approach to life.
Later on in the front porch swing he pulled her by his side
A romantic moment on the porch swing, deepening their connection.
She thanked the cowboy for the ride
Expressing gratitude once again for the journey they've shared.
Well he loved her like a child she'd always felt the same
They love each other deeply, like a child, and decide to build a life together.
So they settled down and hitched their dreams together
The couple settles down and works towards shared dreams.
And they raised two broomstick cowboys and one little cowboy girl
They raise children together, referred to as "broomstick cowboys" and a "cowboy girl."
To know God makes the sunsets of the world
Children are raised to appreciate the beauty of God's creations.
Well he's almost sixty-seven and she'll admit to fourty-nine
Describing the couple's current ages, emphasizing the enduring nature of their love.
He still loves her like a child and she still feels the same
Despite aging, their love remains strong, reinforcing the depth of their connection.
Well he smiles a little slower at the twinkle in her eye
His slower smile indicates aging, but the twinkle in her eye keeps the romance alive.
They still saddle up from time to time
Despite their age, they continue to share moments together, maintaining their bond.
And they ride off in the sunset in the evening
Symbolic imagery of continuing their journey into the evening of life.
Stars as bright as if they'd never seen them
Describing the beauty of their shared experiences, like seeing stars for the first time.
She never fails to say it before they go to bed at night
Expressing gratitude again, this time before bedtime.
Well I love you cowboy thank you for the ride
The final expression of love and thanks to the cowboy for the entire journey.
