Cowboys and Cadillacs
Jaydee Bixby Lyrics

Had a horse
When I was young, I owned a horse

When I was young
During my childhood years

I was trying
I attempted

To put his saddle on
To strap the saddle on my horse's back

When I felt
I experienced

A warm summer breeze
A pleasant draft of air during summertime

From the river bed
Generated by the flowing river

So I went fishing
I went angling

For some rainbow trout
To capture a variety of fish known as rainbow trout

In the distance
Far from where I was located

I heard mama shout
I heard my mother call out loud

"Hurry up son
"Come back quickly

Dinner's going cold"
The meal is getting cold and ready to eat.

Working in the city
I'm employed in urban areas

The Country's
The rural region is still

Still my home
Remains close to my heart

Life just
The way of existence mainly

Ain't the same
Is not identical or equivalent

Without
In the absence of

Cowboys
People working on ranches as handlers of cattle

And Cadillacs
And luxurious motor cars

Blue jeans
Denim trousers

And black hats
As well as headgear that is black in color

It don't matter
It's irrelevant

How high
What level of height

The buildings rise
The rise in urban buildings

The city always lacks
The urban region is always deficient in

Old campfire melodies
Musical tunes that were usually performed around a campfire

My daddy
My father

Used to sing to me
He was fond of singing it to me

Though
Even though

It's got fancy bars
Despite being equipped with sophisticated bars

With models and stars
Trendy and popular figures that are associated with those bars

The memories
Those recollections

Take me back
Bring me back such memories

Now I'm up at 6 am
I wake up at 6 am now

Cause there's bills to pay
Because I need to pay the bills

And times no friend
I have limited time

So I grab a cup of coffee
I consume coffee in a hurry

On my way out the door
Before leaving for work

Fighting traffic
Struggle to deal with heavy traffic congestion

Every inch
Every bit of the way

Of the way
The whole stretch of the route

I crank the radio
I turn up the volume of the radio

And try to escape
And attempt to distract myself

And they play
And what they broadcast

And old song
An aged piece of music

That breaks
Which causes

A little smile
A slight grin

These old worn boots
These worn-out boots

Are still a part of me
They are still an important component of me

You could take me out
You could take me outside

Around the world
Around the globe

But the country's
But the rural region is still

Where my heart will be
Where my affections and home would stay

Oh
An expression used to communicate surprise, pleasure or frustration.

Yeah
Also an expression to convey agreement or affirmation.

Cowboys
People working on ranches as handlers of cattle

And Cadillacs
And luxurious motor cars

Cowboys and Cadillacs
The contrast between two things: working in rural and urban areas
