Cowboy
Lone Ranger's Sweet Goodbye: A Cowboy's Reflection on Love and Freedom
Lyrics
A chilly night
A cold evening
All the stars outside
Night sky filled with stars
Are making me wish I had you by my side
Expressing a desire for companionship
And if you had three
Implies a hypothetical situation
Would you wish for me
Questioning the priority of the speaker
Or would you wish for someone to put their heart out on their sleeve?
Wondering if the person would prefer vulnerability from the speaker or from someone else
Well I'm a Cowboy
Identifying as a cowboy
And we don't need nobody
Emphasizing independence
So I'm laughin at myself
Laughing at oneself for thinking about someone else
Thinking of somebody else
Thoughts of another person despite being a cowboy
When clearly
Acknowledging the contradiction
I'm a Cowboy
Reiteration of being a cowboy
And if I wanted somebody
Expressing a hypothetical desire for companionship
I would have to leave this life
Recognition that such desire would require leaving the current lifestyle
Kiss Lone Ranger sweet goodbye baby
Mention of saying goodbye to the cowboy life
A pretty sunrise
Describing a beautiful sunrise
And I'm fallin behind
Feeling left behind
I distract myself with them tune of a nursery rhyme
Distraction with a nursery rhyme
And it wasn't right
Acknowledging a past mistake
To push you aside
Realization that cowboys resist commitment
But cowboy's can't be tied down by a smile and I love you eyes
Cowboy's reluctance towards emotional ties
Well I'm a Cowboy
Reiteration of being a cowboy
And we don't need nobody
Emphasizing independence
So I'm laughin at myself
Laughing at oneself for thoughts about someone else
Thinking of somebody else
Despite being a cowboy, thoughts of another person persist
When clearly
Acknowledging the contradiction
I'm a Cowboy
Reiteration of being a cowboy
And if I wanted somebody
Expressing a hypothetical desire for companionship
I would have to leave this life
Recognition that such desire would require leaving the current lifestyle
Kiss Lone Ranger sweet goodbye baby
Mention of saying goodbye to the cowboy life
I'm tellin you boy you dodged a bullet with me
Assuring someone that not being with the speaker is a fortunate escape
What's done is done
Acceptance of past actions
I'll never be the one
Acceptance of not being the chosen one
'Cause I'm a Cowboy
Reiteration of being a cowboy
And I don't need nobody
Emphasizing independence
So I'm laughin at myself
Laughing at oneself for thinking about being someone else
Thinking I'm somebody else
Despite being a cowboy, thoughts of being someone else persist
When clearly
Acknowledging the contradiction
I'm a Cowboy
Reiteration of being a cowboy
And if I wanted somebody
Expressing a hypothetical desire for companionship
I would have to leave this life
Recognition that such desire would require leaving the current lifestyle
Kiss Lone Ranger sweet goodbye
Mention of saying goodbye to the cowboy life
Baby
