OKAY COWBOY Lyrics

When I was young I dreamt of being a cowboy

Thought it'd be fun, I'd ride the wind and be an outlaw

Out on the run, a band of gypsies down the highway

I'd chase the sun and go wherever I had it my way

I'd pull the trigger, I'd be the fastest gun around

A lonely figure, no one on earth could tie me down

I'd shoot the sheriff, make that old plot a land a town

Out on the prairie, where there was no one else around

I'd do all those cowboy things and make my younger self real proud

And wonder why it stings when there is no one else around

Why is there no one else around?

Now that I'm older and I don't got no plot of land

No smokin' rifle and only my blood on my hands

A premonition snuck it's way around the back

A small suspicion about the way I'm supposed to act

Limp as a dish rag I lay prostrate on the ground

Waving a white flag, I was lost but now I'm found

I ain't a cowboy, least not the one I thought I'd be

I'm a wandering child, I was blind but now I see

I did all those cowboy things and wound up bleeding on the ground

It took some time to see, but now I think I finally found

I'm just an OKAY COWBOY
