Cowboy mind rides fearlessly onward, touches the sky on his own
Smiles at the crowd as they gaze up with wonder, kicking up dust as he goes
The cloudy future that I seek, riding wild and free when
I'll take the reins today (ride higher)
The whole world's going by (I can't see it)
And saddle up in a new disguise
Cowboy mind rides fearlessly onward
And the rush as he rides leaving all it behind
Clears his head makes space for a daydream
Ride up closer to the sun
Empty space for miles in the desert (the sun beams down, my head held high)
And the rocks beaten down to a powder of sand
Grown up safe in the shadows of walls (my soul alive, my eyes so wide)
A travel companion with endless skies
The cloudy future inside me, riding wild and free but
I'm playing pretend alone (to feel better)
A daydream to live by (I keep going)
A conquered joy that I'll fantasize
The cloudy future behind me, riding wild and free and
I'm playing pretend alone (to feel better)
A daydream to live by (I keep going)
To face the world with
I'm playing pretend alone (to feel better)
A daydream to live by (I keep going)
To face with the world with starry eyes
