Cowboy
Zeds Dead & Omar Linx (Torro Torro Remix) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello, everybody
It's TV-Time! Off we go
I've got a holster for my gun
Silver spurs on my boots
I'll be ready when they come
God help the first one that shoots!
I guess I'll never change
'Cause I was born on the range

Cowboys and Indians
Cowboys and Indians

Heyup!

I won't make Custer's mistake
He didn't finish all his beans
Sometimes I get the shakes
Wish I was back in New Orleans
I guess I'll never change
'Cause I was born on the range

Cowboys and Indians
Cowboys and Indians

Hands up! Golly!
Howdy, pardner
I guess I'll never change
'Cause I was born on the range
Cowboys and Indians
Cowboys and Indians
Oh, no, we don't stand a chance!
This could be my last stand
War paint and colors everywhere
Aw, shucks! My Winny just did jam!
No Redskin's gonna trim my hair!
I guess I'll never change
'Cause I was born on the range

Cowboys and Indians
Cowboys and Indians
Cowboys and Indians
Cowboys and Indians

Now tell them the true story
Cowboys and Indians
How the west was really won

Cowboys and Indians

The first few lines paint the picture of the cowboy getting ready for a confrontation, with his gun holstered and silver spurs on his boots. He warns the first person who shoots will face his wrath. Throughout the song, the cowboy muses that he'll never change because he was born on the range, and he references the ongoing conflict between cowboys and Indians. The song ends with the call for the "true story" of cowboys and Indians and how the west was won.


There are different interpretations of the meaning behind "Cowboy." Still, it is clear that the lyrics allude to the idea that violence is inherent in the wild west, and the cowboy's mindset is one of survival, having to fight to protect his land and way of life. The chorus is a repetition of cowboys and Indians, highlighting the conflict between the two groups and their different cultures. The line "This could be my last stand" signifies the cowboy's willingness to fight until the end.
