[Verse 1]
They call me cowboy when I walk through town
Hat brim low, boots worn down
But I’ve never worked a fence line straight
Never pushed a herd through a pasture gate
My horse has chrome and burns unleaded
My trail runs where the ocean’s headed
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t rope cattle at the break of dawn
But I’ve held on tight when the night was long
⸻
[Chorus]
They call me cowboy
Guess I understand
I chase wide horizons
No rope in hand
No cattle, no ranch
No dust from a brand
Just endless miles, a restless heart
And a map I never planned
Maybe I ain’t their cowboy
But I know I am one
⸻
[Verse 2]
I’ve slept in deserts, watched the tide
Buried a dog I had by my side
Rode a borrowed horse through foreign wind
Some things you lose and some things you will
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t sing old rodeo songs
But I know what it means to ride alone
⸻
[Bridge] (Quiet, honest)
Maybe a cowboy’s just a man
Who keeps his word and makes his stand
Doesn’t matter where he roams
Long as he’s honest when he comes back home
[Chorus Reprise]
No rope in hand
No cattle, no ranch
No dust from a brand
Just endless miles, a restless heart
And a map I never planned
Maybe I ain’t their cowboy
But I know I am one
