Ain't Always The Cowboy Lyrics

Her hands wrapped up in mine
Tears rollin' out of her eyes
No messin' with a made-up mind
Sun settin' on goodbye
Yeah, it's hard to believe
It wasn't me tryna leave this time

It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless runnin'
Searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away

I've never seen over from this side
Never heard lonely get this quiet
Still, I can't keep from smilin'
'Cause damn, that girl can fly

It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless runnin'
Searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away

A tumbleweed heart chasin' that wind
Goin' too far, wherever that is

It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless runnin'
Searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away
Rides away
Ain't always the cowboy

What is the Meaning of Ain't Always The Cowboy?

This soulful track delves into the often unexplored perspective of the one left behind in a relationship. It challenges the stereotype that it's always men, symbolized by 'the cowboy', who are restless and leave their partners. Instead, it portrays a woman choosing to follow her dreams, leaving her partner behind. The song beautifully captures the mixed emotions of sadness and admiration felt by the man as he respects her decision to pursue her own path. The recurring imagery of 'the cowboy' and 'midnight Chevrolet' further reinforces this theme of freedom and choice, while conveying an air of melancholy and longing. #Freedom #Love #Longing
