Discover the story of the song > Cowgirl in the Sand – Neil Young

The song is about the protagonist's attraction to three different women: a cowgirl, a woman named Ruby, and a woman he refers to as the woman of his dreams. He asks each of these women if they will let him stay with them for a while and admires their beauty, but also questions whether they truly want to be with him or if they are simply playing a game. Despite this uncertainty, he continues to pursue them and repeats his initial greetings throughout the song.
