Cowboys

[Verse 1]

Cowboys on the road tonight

Crying in their sleep

If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand

And some promises to keep

Who wanted to change the world...

What's as easy as murder?

It's all headlights and vapor trails

And Circle K killers

And I know I could look at anyone but you now

I could fall into the eyes of anyone but you now

So come on, come on, come on, come on

Oh, come on through now

This is a list of what I should have been but I'm not

This is a list of the things that I should have seen

But I'm not seeing the look in your eyes

As his fingertips lit on your neck and it made you shiver

I’m just turning away from where I should have been

Because I am not anything

The president’s in bed tonight but he can’t get to sleep

‘Cause all the cowboys on the radio are killers

And I believe she loves you ‘cause you never make her feel like anything

She said I wouldn’t feel a thing but I can feel…

Oh, I can feel…

And I know I could look at anyone but you now

I could fall into the arms of anyone but you now

So come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on through now

This is a list of what I should’ve been but I’m not

This is a list of the things that I should’ve seen

But I’m not seeing the look in your eyes

As his finger’s unzipping your dress and it makes you shiver

I’m just turning away from what I shouldn’t see

Because I am not anything

Everyone’s in bed tonight but nobody can sleep

‘Cause all the satellites are watching through our windows

She says she doesn’t love me like…like she’s acting

But it’s as if she isn’t talking

‘Cause Mr. Lincoln’s head is bleeding on the front row while she’s speaking

I said come on all you cowboys

All you blue-eyed baby boys

Come on all you dashing gentlemen of summer

I’ll wait for you where Saturday’s a memory

And Sunday comes to gather me into the arms of god

Who’ll welcome me because I believe…

Oh I believe…

And I know I could look at anyone but you now

I could fall into the eyes of anyone but you now

So come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on through now

This is a list of what I should’ve been but I’m not

This is a list of the things that I should have seen

But I’m not seeing you look at me

So please won’t you look at me?

Cause I’m not seeing you look at me

Oh, I will make you look at me…

Or I am not anything
