Discover the story of the song > Cowboy Song – Thin Lizzy

The song is about a lonely cowboy who loves being out on the trail, under the stars. He thinks about a girl he used to ride with sometimes, but now he travels around a lot for his job as a rodeo performer, riding broncos. The chorus talks about wanting to be rolled around and spun like he is during the rodeo, and he finishes the song saying he wants the cowboy life forever.
