[Verse 1]
Born with boots on, in a one-horse town,
Rode the range ‘til the sun went down.
Dreams of gold and stars in the sky,
Thought I'd trade my saddle for a rocket ride.
[Prechorus]
Left my spurs by the Rio Grande,
Now I’m chasing dust on a distant land.
[Chorus]
Cowboy on the moon,
Mining rocks where the craters bloom.
Got the whole Milky Way, but it still feels small,
When the stars can't hold you, and the nights get long.
[Verse 2]
I was a charmer, had a wink and a grin,
Ladies loved me, but I never fit in.
Now I’m lonesome, with no dancehall near,
Just the hum of engines and my helmet's clear.
[Prechorus]
Traded the prairie for a sea of gray,
But it’s hard to love when you're light-years away.
[Chorus]
Cowboy on the moon,
Mining rocks where the craters bloom.
Got the whole Milky Way, but it still feels small,
When the stars can't hold you, and the nights get long.
