Story Behind The Song

Trying to evoke a more progressive Country & Western sound, still utilizing the topicality of the genre, but updating the music for the 21st century. Does it work?

Song Description

A lonely cowboy reflecting on his life and love , with a modern/comtemporary musical twist/feel

Lyrics

Vesre 1
It ain't all punching doggies
It ain't all home on the range
And the city that I've sworn off
Or riding into the sunset on my mustang

Verse 2
It could be a woman that I loved
Hard at work and harder at play
Even these grizzled hands
Have touched someone that way

Chorus
You wouldn't think that it's true
But sometimes a cowboy gets the blues
When you're a million miles away
From what means the most to you
Left her behind for the last time
Never thought it could be this hard
As I make this solitary ride
And my lonely heart has been scarred

Verse 3
It ain't all sand and cactus
It ain't all tumblweeds
Or the woman that I've sworn off
And it ain't quite what it seems

Verse 4
It could be that she fell out of love with me
Or went for that feller across the way
Gotta stop trying to solve the mysteries of life
Even the marshall has to call it a day

Chorus
You wouldn't think that it's true
But sometimes a cowboy gets the blues
When you're a million miles away
From what means the most to you
Left her behind for the last time
Never thought it could be this hard
As I make this solitary ride
And my lonely heart has been scarred

Bridge
Just me and the high wind out here
It speaks it's mind so true
I hate to sound so pitiful
Yeah , sometimes a cowboy gets the blues

Chorus
You wouldn't think that it's true
But sometimes a cowboy gets the blues
When you're a million miles away
From what means the most to you
Left her behind for the last time
Never thought it could be this hard
As I make this solitary ride
And my lonely heart has been scarred

You wouldn't think that it's true
But sometimes a cowboy gets the blues
When you're a million miles away
