Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna be a cowboy baby
Cowboy
I wanna be a cowboy
Ridin' till the day is done
I wanna be a cowboy
No red lights in sight
Kickin' up dust
Got a train to go bust
They don't see me comin' cuz we ridin' at dusk
I wanna be a cowboy
Ridin' till the day is done
I wanna be a cowboy bae
With my bolo-tie I'm so fly
The horizon in my sights
Mud splattered chaps tattered
M'lady we gon' go all night
Kickin' door in we wildin'
Saloon ladies be pilin'
Give a yeehaw, hit the road
Giddey up and lock & load
I wanna be a cowboy
Ridin' till the day is done
I wanna be a cowboy
No red lights in sight
Just my colt to the sky
Kicking up dust
Got a train to go bust
They don't see me comin cuz we ridin' at dusk
I wanna be a cowboy
Ridin' till the day is done
I wanna be a cowboy
Ridin' till the day is done
I wanna be a cowboy
No red lights in sight
Just my colt to the sky
Kicking up dust
Got a train to go bust
They don't see me comin cuz we ridin' at dusk
I wanna be a cowboy
Ridin' till the day is done
