You Just Can't See Him from the Road
Unseen Heroes of the Sunset: A Cowboy's Silent Journey
Lyrics
Well you don't see him much on the big screen anymore
He is not as visible in mainstream media or popular culture.
The kids don't ride along with Roy or Gene
Traditional cowboy figures like Roy Rogers or Gene Autry are no longer popular among kids.
And that ain't really him with all those feathers in his hat
He doesn't conform to the stereotypical cowboy image with extravagant accessories.
And some frenchman's name embroidered on his jeans
Reference to modern influences on cowboy attire.
But he's still out there ridin' fences
Despite the changes, he continues to work on ranches, maintaining fences.
Still makes his livin' with his rope
His livelihood still revolves around using a lasso.
As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand
His commitment to the cowboy lifestyle remains strong as long as there are sunsets.
You just can't see him from the road
His presence and dedication are not easily noticeable to passersby.
Well he never learned to two step hell he barely learned to walk
He never learned popular dances and had a tough upbringing.
But he's worn a lot of leather off the tree
He has spent a significant amount of time working with leather.
He's had one or two good horses that he counts among his friends
He values certain horses as close companions.
He never drew a breath that wasn't free
His life has been characterized by freedom.
But he's still out there ridin' fences
Continues the theme of working on fences and using a rope for a living.
Still makes his livin' with his rope
Reiterates his reliance on using a lasso for livelihood.
As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand
His dedication to the cowboy lifestyle persists with the presence of sunsets.
You just can't see him from the road
Despite his commitment, he remains unseen by those passing by.
Well he's tall in the saddle short on the cash
He is financially struggling but maintains resilience.
The last to quit the first to buy the beer
He prioritizes socializing and buying drinks for others.
Well he's a knight in leather armor still livin' by the code
Describes him as an honorable figure, following a code of conduct.
That's made him what he's been a hundred years
His character has been consistent over a long period.
But he's still out there ridin' fences
Emphasizes his ongoing work on ranches, maintaining fences.
Still makes his livin' with his rope
Reaffirms his livelihood involving the use of a rope.
As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand
His dedication to the cowboy lifestyle endures with the presence of sunsets.
You just can't see him from the road
Despite his commitment, he remains unnoticed by those on the road.
As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand
Reiterates his commitment to the cowboy lifestyle with the presence of sunsets.
You just can't see him from the road
Despite his dedication, he remains unseen by those passing by.
