    Lyrics:
    It's been a long dark dirty road
    And pocket full of gold
    I've been out here now
    All on my own
    It's real quiet here
    Just the way I like it here
    There's no one to bother me
    Except
    In 1955, born into Wadena's pride
    I laid my head on that
    Milligan creek bed
    When I was a young man
    I helped build this land
    Oh, I put down these rails as a
    CPR man
    Thought I'd live forever
    With my heart in my pocket
    Oh, my gun by my side
    And my feelings in a locket
    Well, that was a cold year in '77
    But I married my wife
    We had two kids
    I gave her a daughter
    She gave me a son
    And we rode those damn horses 'til we had none
    Fist still like flyin'
    Doing things for dyin'
    Oh, I should have put that old gun away
    Well I, I am a broken Cowboy
    And I don't feel right no more
    'Cause I am a broken Cowboy
    Livin' life in the fast lane
    Racing cars and robbing trains
    I thought I had it all
    Then one day, I got the call
    A father's worst dream
    My son went down and I
    The colours deceive me
    As I see grey
    Oh, you're cutting me down with those
    Cold words you're saying
    Then you called me, brother
    But this can't be so, 'cause you
    Slander my name, anywhere the wind will blow
    Well, I am a broken cowboy
    And I don't feel right no more
    'Cause I am a broken cowboy
    Yes, I am a broken cowboy
    It's been a long dark dirty road
    But a pocket full of gold
    And I've been out here now
    All on my own
    Well, it's real quiet here
    Just the way I like it here
    There's no one to bother me
    Except that old taunting tree

  • @UtterlyClueless1
    @UtterlyClueless1 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    While theres so much more to the song than this, the main relatable part is regret and loss and how that regret relates to the loss. These guys are incredible story tellers in a way that relates to people that haven't experienced the exact story and it's an inctedibly therapeutic thing. Even through a carton of beer and tears. And that tree certainly taunts but ypu stay strong, its not the solution.
