Darlin' I've got some sad news today
So sit down and brace yourself
'Cause I'm not enjoying life out here
In this cowboy life, in this cowboy town

Darlin' you're the only thing that I've got goin' here
But other than that, I'm barren to the core
I got whiskey in my blood that needs to be purged-
That needs to be purged
So send word to my mom and dad
That I'm heading out west
To dream with the seagulls,
and lay with my thrift store clothes
'Cause this pale skin, it needs a tan
And I just don't want to be a cowboy anymore

So I'll follow the smoke to the coast
And just sit in traffic for hours
I'll just sit with my thoughts
I think that I could watch the waves all day

So darlin' follow me out there
We'll make a new life
We'll make a new life

We'll send word to our parents
That we're heading out west
To dream with the seagulls,
and lay with our thirft store clothes
'Cause our pale skin, it needs a tan
I just don't want to be a cowboy anymore
