Cowboys

Day in, day out
Who's going to pick up the slack around this town
Today I know I say it's over
My call, it's my thing
I don't care about what anybody thinks
In nineteen twelve, I'm still a cowboy

If I could figure out these bones
To never roam again where they've been told
Who are you? Stealing away my time
And should you push away my keys
Every room that they lock be full of useless things
Leave them to rot and ride out east

Harper, Harper
I can't focus for longer than an hour
So take my money while you have me
Eighteen-eighty
Put me back on a ranch and make me clean
I'll watch the glaciers carve the valley

It's getting harder every day
I'm watching every friend of mine move away
Calamine and rosebud tea
Do we break down and push aside
Everything that we own into a crumbling mine
We'll lock the doors and ride out east

If I could figure out these bones
To never roam again where they've been told
Who are you? Stealing away my time
And should you push away my keys
Every room that they lock be full of useless things
Leave them to rot and ride out east

It's getting harder every day
I'm watching every friend of mine move away
Dynamite your six-month lease
And who will reign this horse of mine
Sooner or later my stable'll be a crumbling mine
I'll lock the doors and ride out east
