Desk Job Cowboy Lyrics

Clock hits nine, I'm chained to this chair

Flickering screen and fluorescent glare

Filing papers, lost in the grind

But my heart's out there where the fences wind

I'm a desk job cowboy in a concrete pen

Dreamin' of sunsets and wild prairie winds

Trading these emails for saddle and reins

Riding through dust instead of commuter trains

Coffee's cold, my mind starts to roam

To fields of wheat and a ranch I'd call home

Boss calls my name, pulls me back inside

But my soul's on horseback with no place to hide

I'm a desk job cowboy in a concrete pen

Dreamin' of sunsets and wild prairie winds

Swappin' these meetings for a wide open sky

Where the only deadlines are stars passing by

One day I'll trade this tie for a lasso

Swap this gray desk for a place where grass grows

Till then, I'll saddle my dreams every night

And ride through my mind 'til morning light

I'm a desk job cowboy in a concrete pen

Dreamin' of sunsets and wild prairie winds

Trading these emails for saddle and reins

Riding through dust instead of commuter trains

When the day ends and the city lights glow

I'm chasing the horizon where wild horses go

A desk job cowboy, but my heart's always free

Riding open ranges no one else can see
