Picture this: a wide-open plain, the sun dipping low, casting golden rays over a dusty trail. There’s a rhythm in the air, a steady beat like hooves pounding the earth, and it pulls you in. That’s We Are the Cowboys—a song that feels like a ride into the heart of freedom, grit, and untamed spirit. It’s not just music; it’s a story, a call to the wild part of your soul that’s been itching to break free.
This song is a love letter to the dreamers who carve their own paths. It’s got that raw, anthemic energy—think electric guitars wailing over a driving drumbeat, with lyrics that hit like a gust of wind across the prairie. It’s about owning who you are, standing tall through the storms, and chasing what sets your heart on fire. When you hear it, you can almost feel the creak of leather boots and the weight of a Stetson on your head. It’s cinematic, like the soundtrack to a life lived on your own terms.
What makes We Are the Cowboys stick with you? It’s the way it captures that universal longing for purpose and adventure. The chorus—oh, man, it’s a fist-in-the-air moment—makes you want to sing along, even if you’re stuck in traffic dreaming of wide-open spaces. It’s got this timeless vibe, blending classic rock swagger with a modern edge, so it feels like it could’ve been blaring from a jukebox in the ‘70s or headlining a festival today.
The story behind it? It was born from late-night jam sessions, where the writers poured their hearts into crafting something that felt bigger than themselves. They were inspired by the idea of the cowboy—not just the hat and spurs, but the mindset: fearless, loyal, and a little rebellious. It’s a nod to anyone who’s ever felt like they’re riding against the wind, whether they’re chasing a dream, fighting for what’s right, or just trying to stay true to who they are.
Why does it hit so hard? Because it’s relatable. We’ve all got a bit of that cowboy spirit in us—those moments when we dig deep, dust ourselves off, and keep going. It’s the song you blast when you need a reminder that you’re tougher than the toughest storms. So, next time you’re feeling a little lost, crank this one up. Let it remind you: you’re a cowboy, and the trail ahead is yours to conquer.

Lyrics
Texans are gathered up in Colorado
The kid with a fast gun ain’t with them today
The cowboys are riding tall in the saddle
They shoot from the heart with the songs that they play
There’s a right handsome woman on up around Boulder
They got slick hardwood floors and a pot belly stove
She swears I am someone she can believe in
She the best Colorado gal I’ve ever known
We are the cowboys the true sons of freedom
We are the men who will get the job done
We’re picking our words so we won’t have to eat them
Were rounding them up and then driving them home
Cowboys are average American people
Texicans mexicans black man and jews
They love this old world and they don’t want to loose it
There counting on me and there counting on you
The world will breathe easy when we stop the bleeding
The fighting will end when all hunger is gone
There’s those who are blind so will all have to lead them
It’s everyones job till we get the work done
We are the cowboys the true sons of freedom
We are the men who will get the job done
We’re picking our words so we won’t have to eat them
Were rounding them up and then driving them home
Were rounding them up and then driving them home
