[Verse]
It's so hard to be a cowboy these days
Dust in my boots but I’m lost in the haze
Everyone sees white men and they turn away
I’m just tryin' to ride through another gray day
[Verse 2]
I asked myself hey what did I do
To carry the weight of a past I never knew
Think about the past but don’t bury the truth
I’m just a man tryin' to find my own proof
[Chorus]
Wake up the sky's still wide and free
The horizon’s a place for you and me
Leave the old shadows where they lie
Let’s blaze a trail to a brighter sky
[Verse 3]
Riding this range I feel the world’s scars
But we can’t keep blaming the same old stars
Every tumbleweed rolls toward something new
Can’t rewrite history but we can break through
[Bridge]
Let’s build a world where the fences don’t bind
Where the cattle roam and hearts unwind
Let the past teach us but not define
A future carved from a kinder design
[Chorus]
Wake up the sky's still wide and free
The horizon’s a place for you and me
Leave the old shadows where they lie
Let’s blaze a trail to a brighter sky
