Lyrics
Neon Cowboy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'll only wear you out
Like a fire you carry around in your mouth
You can hear the cannons calling my name
Like ghosts before you were warm
And you insist on comin' in
Count your sins
Yeah, we'll have a nice ride on the neon tide
Lookin' up, oh
But those feelings are fooling your heart
Status quo from the very start
But you're not one of us
Yeah, those feelings are fooling your mind
Save those, those dreams for another time
'Cause you're one of us
Holding the reins now
Use that fire you've carried around
Go back down
Oh, don't you want it?
Don't you want it?
Don't you want it?
With your friends on the floor
And they're counting the score
Don't you want it even more?
Yeah, we'll have a nice ride on the neon tide
Lookin' up, oh
But those feelings are fooling your heart
Status quo from the very start
But you're not one of us
Yeah, those feelings are fooling your mind
Save those, those dreams for another time
'Cause you're one of us
And don't you want it?
Don't you want it?
With your friends on the floor
And they're counting the score
Don't you want it even more?
Oh, don't you want it?
Don't you want it?
Don't you want it even more?
