Lyrics
Hey cowboy, I'm doin' alright
Greeting to the cowboy, expressing well-being
Hey cowboy, I've moved on with my life
Indication of moving on from the past
Hey cowboy, how's it goin' for you
Asking about the cowboy's current state
Well, as for me, I stopped feelin' blue
Personal recovery from feeling sad or down
This will be the very last song I write about you
Declaration that this is the last song about the cowboy
But anyway, you never listened when I'd try to
Reflecting on the cowboy's lack of listening
Bet you're wishing you could go back to the night before you walked out on me
Suggesting regret for leaving the relationship
Hey cowboy, you're just a broken memory
Describing the cowboy as a broken memory
Hey cowboy, when you cheated on me
Referencing infidelity in the relationship
It broke my heart to give you back your ring
Heartbreak over returning the engagement ring
But then I realized this bird's got new songs to sing
Realization of personal growth and new beginnings
Hey cowboy, I'm findin' my wings
Expressing newfound strength and independence
This will be the very last song I write about you
Reiteration that this is the final song about the cowboy
But anyway, you never listened when I'd try to
Highlighting the cowboy's historical lack of listening
Bet you're wishing you could go back to the night before you walked out on me
Suspecting the cowboy's desire to undo the past
Hey cowboy, you're just a broken memory
Reiterating that the cowboy is a broken memory
This will be the very last song I write about you
Final declaration of ending songs about the cowboy
But anyway, you never listened when I'd try to
Emphasizing the cowboy's historical inattentiveness
Bet you're wishing you could go back to the night before you walked out on me
Speculating on the cowboy's desire to change the past
Hey cowboy, you're just a broken memory
Reiterating that the cowboy remains a broken memory
It's time for me to fly free
Declaring readiness to move forward independently
