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.
