Cowgirl of the County

about

Third release from West on Colfax - song about finding redemption from despair

lyrics

Verse one
It was just a humdrum night
As I was busy hiding my failings
In the dark of my favourite little bar
Looking for reason, at the bottom of a jar
When on came the bright house lights
Which really hit me hard

Verse two
Stumbling into a well worn street
The road sparked with the cold
Now rain is the only drink around
Pull my collar up and find my feet
Looking for an open sign
And pray for just one more round

Chorus
She was the cowgirl of the county
She lent into me gently
We chose songs on the jukebox
I don’t think I’ve been as happy
The night swirled around us
It felt as it meant to be

Verse 3
Well i’ve fell into all the traps
and the drunken mishaps
that my dad did twenty years before
i guess this apple didn’t fall
far from the tree, 
i’m only certain bout one thing… 
that’s you and me

Mid 8
you know…Life is rolling rodeo
With many highs and many lows
And love, is my favourite little bar
Just hope that i’m not barred

Verse three
At the drinking drive-in
and the farewell motel
Cash for gold, i was on the ropes
My heart skipped town with a
Wilful waitress
We may have nothing but we have hope

Chorus
She was the cowgirl of the county
She lent into me gently
We chose songs on the jukebox
I don’t think I’ve been as happy
The night swirled around us
It felt as it meant to be
