Cowboy
Cowboy Dreams: Life's Fragments and Cracked Patience
Lyrics
Cracking a hard cider
Enjoying a hard cider drink
When the days work is done
After completing the day's work
Got a crank in my neck from having too much fun
Experiencing neck discomfort from excessive enjoyment
And the radio's more static with small fragments of a song
Radio reception is poor with fragments of a song
But the sound still is my favorite so I'll try to sing along
Despite the interference, the music remains a favorite
"Buzz"
Onomatopoeic representation of a buzzing sound
Questioning my morals and how much more of this I'll take
Reflecting on personal morals and endurance
Got a whole array of tools to patch my patience when it breaks
Having various coping mechanisms for patience
And my mama's on the phone wondering why I'm still awake
Mother inquiring about staying awake late
And I've got nothing
Feeling empty or lacking in life
So I say nothing
Choosing silence as a response
And so is life, I guess
Accepting the uncertainties and challenges of life
I'm in too many memories, I'm on way too many tabs
Being overwhelmed by memories and tasks
Maybe I'll love October when I'm in the latter half
Anticipating a better appreciation for October in the future
But the days are getting shorter so I better learn to love them fast
Recognizing the fleeting nature of time
And I'm building up potential over all the things I lack
Accumulating potential despite personal shortcomings
Sometimes I dream about a life
Dreaming of an alternative life
A life I've never had
Fantasizing about a life never experienced
Where I got no destination and a brimful tank of gas
Envisioning a carefree life with no specific destination
I'll get a dog and name him cowboy and he'll sit right in my lap
Planning to have a dog named Cowboy for companionship
And the reason that I'll love him is he'll protect me from the bad
Believing the dog will provide protection
Bad guys
Referring to potential threats or challenges
Bad bad guys
Reiterating the presence of perceived threats
So is life, I guess
Reiterating acceptance of life's uncertainties
So is life, I guess
Repeating acceptance of life's uncertainties
