Cowboy Man |
|
Oh, nobody knows- |
|
Why he's wearing those casual clothes wherever he goes |
|
Horses and biks are the things that he likes |
|
Everyday's a vacation and I wanna know why |
|
Oh nobody knows |
|
He drives his big car around his ranch is cool as can be |
|
It's only 50 bucks a gallon get the slurpee for free |
|
And oh- nobody knows |
|
It seems we need him to be- |
|
Why do we need him to be- |
|
Yeah we still need him to be |
|
Why do we need him to be? |
|
I saw him talking out of the side of his mouth |
|
And I caught him looking out of the side of his eyes |
|
He's a cowboy man- or a boy next door- |
|
Or maybe even the leader of the free world. |
|
It seems we need him to be- why do we need him to be? |
|
Just like a friend of your dad's just like you and me? |
|
Can't we aim a little higher find ourselves a better liar? |
|
Save face with a straight face- how did we get here in the first place? |
|
Oh- nobody knows. |
|
Country club reality- I suppose |
|
The grass is greener- the sun's out today |
|
The oil is clean it's the American way |
|
And oh- nobody knows. |
|
It seems we need him to be- |
|
Why do we need him to be- |
|
Yeah we still need him to be |
|
Why do we need him to be? |
|
But I saw him talking out of the side of his mouth |
|
Someone's feeding him the lines and I figured it out |
|
He's a cowboy man with his mama's hands |
|
He's got the world tied up in his father's plans |
|
And oh- nobody knows. |
|
Cause we need him to be- yeah we still need him to be |
|
Relaxed and easy-going, cool, calm and carefree |
|
Can't we aim a little higher- shift the focus, flip the script, |
|
tip the scales, skip the record, break the cycle, trip the wire? |
|
Before he rode off into the setting sun |
|
They smiled when they thought of all the things that they'd done- |
|
And if it could be him- then why not me? |
|
Nobody knows. |
