Cowtown
Escape the Shadows: Revelations in the Heart of Cowtown
Lyrics
You were wild and you were free
You were untamed and liberated
At least that's how it always seemed to me
At least, that's the impression I always had
You were something else completely
You were entirely different
Then anything I was raised to believe
Than what I was brought up to believe
Cowtown on a Friday night
A Friday night in a town with limited activities
Nothing to do here but drink and fight
Nothing to engage in except drinking and brawling
Walk the floor and ramble round
Restlessly pacing and wandering
Don't wanna die in this Cowtown
Expressing a desire not to end life in this town
Cigarettes through the screen door
Cigarettes thrown through the door's screen
Freezing in our hooded sweatshirts
Feeling cold in our hooded sweatshirts
Acid freaks & methamphetamines
Encountering drug use and stimulants
Going nowhere with somewhere to be
Directionless existence with obligations
Cowtown on a Friday night
Another Friday night in the uneventful town
Nothing to do here but drink and fight
Same routine of drinking and conflict
Walk the floor and ramble round
Wandering aimlessly and pacing around
Don't wanna die in this Cowtown
Expressing a reluctance to end life here
Never forget all you taught to me
Acknowledging the lessons learned
You're only trapped here If you choose to be
You're only confined if you choose to be
You & I could spend an eternity
Suggesting a potential enduring connection
Going nowhere with somewhere to be
Yet, stuck in a purposeless journey
Cowtown on a Friday night
Repeating the scene of a Friday night
Nothing to do here but drink and fight
Limited options, resorting to drinking and fighting
Walk the floor and ramble round
Continuing the aimless wandering
Don't wanna die in this Cowtown
Reiterating the aversion to ending life in the town
Don't wanna die in this Cowtown
Emphatically expressing the desire not to perish in this town
