Cowboy
Josey Greenwell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jukebox tippin
Tennessee whiskey
Faded from my hat to my boots
Blue moon shining
You and me grindin
Sugar we got nothing to lose

I don't wanna party no more
Cant we get this show on the road
I'm just tryna take you home home home
Before we giddy up you just gotta know

I ain't your cowboy this ain't a round up
But we can wild Wild West all in your bathtub
Don't catch a feeling
I ain't gon save ya I'm too far gone

I ain't your cowboy but if you wanna
Yeah we can wild Wild West until the suns up
Don't catch a feeling
I ain't gonna save ya I'm too far gone

Everybody and their mama get to swangin
Everybody and their daddy dang a langin
You know we do it all
Biscuits and alcohol
Party getting way too lit like a fireball
If you getting freaky put your fingers to the sky yeah
If you feeling single tell that mother fucker bye yeah
If you need a lift come with me I'm bout to ride
Are you coming are you staying
I dont care what people saying no

I don't wanna party no more
Cant we get this show on the road
I'm just tryna take you home home home
Before we giddy up you just gotta know

I ain't your cowboy this ain't a round up
But we can wild Wild West all in your bathtub
Don't catch a feeling
I ain't gon save ya I'm too far gone

I ain't your cowboy but if you wanna
Yeah we can wild Wild West until the suns up
Don't catch a feeling
I ain't gonna save ya I'm too far gone

Jukebox tippin
Tennessee whiskey
Faded from my hat to my boots
Blue moon shining
You and me grindin
Sugar we got nothing to lose

I ain't your cowboy this ain't a round up
But we can wild Wild West all in your bathtub
Don't catch a feeling
I ain't gon save ya I'm too far gone

I ain't your cowboy but if you wanna
Yeah we can wild Wild West until the suns up
Don't catch a feeling
I ain't gonna save ya I'm too far gone
I ain't gonna save ya I'm too far gone
Oh




Too gone Da da daneon
(I'm drunk)
