Discover the story of the song > No More Buffalo – James McMurtry

The lyrics are about a person reflecting on their past and the choices they made in life. The protagonist and their partner traveled together, but eventually realized that their adventures were meaningless. They are now longing for a simpler and more mundane life, symbolized by putting away their toys and leaving behind the open road and excitement. They realize that they were chasing after something that was never truly there, and now they just want to settle down.
