Little More Cowboy
Yearning for the Sunset: A Tale of Heartache and Longing
Lyrics
You're probably tongue tied, out all night
You are likely at a loss for words, out all night
With a new girl, sitting bar side
With a new girl, sitting at the bar
Orderin' up another round
Ordering another round of drinks
Not thinking about me right now
Not currently thinking about me
For it being three months, I shouldn't be hung up
Despite three months passing, I shouldn't be so attached
On something we didn't call love
Referring to a relationship that wasn't labeled as love
I should be half way down that gettin' over you dirt road
I should be making progress in getting over you
But I ain't even close
But I am nowhere near that point
I wish I could ride off in the sunset
Expressing a desire to ride off into the sunset
Leave nothin' but a silhouette
Leaving only a silhouette behind
Of a head held high headed west
Heading west with pride and no regrets
No regrets kinda girl
Describing herself as a no-regrets kind of girl
But I guess I'm just the same old broke heart
Realizing she's still a broken heart
At the same hole in the wall bar
Returning to the same bar where emotional pain lingers
And I wish it didn't hurt this bad
Expressing the intensity of emotional pain
Yeah, tonight I wish I had
Expressing a wish for a different situation tonight
A little more cowboy
Desiring a bit more of a cowboy spirit
A little more gone with wind, it is what it is
Desiring a carefree attitude, accepting things as they are
I'll see you when I see you again
Anticipating meeting again with an attitude of indifference
Yeah, I trade in for a stone cold heart
Consideration of having a more resilient heart
Instead of wondering where you are
Preferably not wondering about your whereabouts
It wouldn't be so hard
It would be less difficult
If I could just ride off in the sunset
Expressing a desire to escape into the sunset
Leave nothin' but a silhouette
Leaving only a silhouette behind
Of a head held high headed west
Heading west with pride and no regrets
No regrets kinda girl
Describing herself as a no-regrets kind of girl
But I guess I'm just the same old broke heart
Realizing she's still a broken heart
At the same hole in the wall bar
Returning to the same bar where emotional pain lingers
And I wish it didn't hurt this bad
Expressing the intensity of emotional pain
Yeah, tonight I wish I had
Expressing a wish for a different situation tonight
A little more cowboy
Desiring a bit more of a cowboy spirit
Ooh, just a little more cowboy
Reiterating the desire for a little more cowboy
Little less John Denver, more John Wayne
Less of a folk music influence, more of a tough, heroic influence
A little less west coast, more lone-star state
Less influenced by the west coast, more by the lone-star state (Texas)
It ain't tonight
Recognizing that the change won't happen tonight
But maybe I'll get there some day
Expressing hope for a future change
Where I could just ride off in the sunset
Expressing a desire to escape into the sunset
Leave nothin' but a silhouette
Leaving only a silhouette behind
Of a head held high headed west
Heading west with pride and no regrets
No regrets kinda girl
Describing herself as a no-regrets kind of girl
But I guess I'm just the same old broke heart
Realizing she's still a broken heart
At the same hole in the wall bar
Returning to the same bar where emotional pain lingers
And I wish it didn't hurt this bad
Expressing the intensity of emotional pain
Yeah, tonight I wish I had
Expressing a wish for a different situation tonight
A little more cowboy
Desiring a bit more of a cowboy spirit
Ooh, just a little more cowboy
Reiterating the desire for a little more cowboy
