Cowboy Song Lyrics

I've wanted to be a cowboy since forever

Just play for the glow of dawn

But when you put your boots on everyday

And you go to town only to pray

You more or less become a miner

It's my duty to hate California

Are the Redwoods worth it anyway?

Young said he'd been, he took the bait

But I like lavender and painted caves

Start the countdown at eight

Seven, six, five

Snakes and stones and trees and bones

Never broke my heart

But the gold is deeper where the creek flows faster

And I'm waiting for a trail

To part

I take myself to the tailor as much as I can

She says"We're not that different

You've got blue and I've got red

Darlin' I can see the sparks in your head

Why are you holding back the water?"

No one ever tells a cowboy

How to say goodbye

You just tip your hat and leave

I always try to stay till the sky gets dark

But why would you go when you could look at stars?

Tell me are you worth it to wither

Snakes and stones and trees and bones

Never broke my heart

But the gold is deeper where the creek flows faster

And I'm waiting for a trail

To part

What will happen if we ride to the valley?

Will the gardens swallow us whole?

Who says we're only in it for the journey?

I know our horses have carried heavier loads

All I saw was a silhouette

How am I supposed to know if I'm seeing things

If the rain comes will this fire be burnt out?

Wet wood has to dry, someday, someday, someday

Snakes and stones and trees and bones

Never broke my heart

But the gold is deeper where the creek flows faster

And I'm waiting for a trail

To part
