Lyrics

Cowboy (Alternate Version)

[Verse 1]

Cold gray buildings

Where a hill should be

Steel and concrete

Closing in on me

City faces

Haunt the places

I rode alone

[Chorus]

Cowboy

Cowboy

Can't run

Can't hide

It's too late to fight now

Too tired to try

[Verse 2]

Wind that once blew free

Now scatters dust to the sky

[Chorus]

Cowboy

Cowboy

Can't run

Can't hide

It's too late to fight now

Too tired to try
