Foster the People – Pumped Up Kicks Lyrics 13 years ago
The line "and i dont even know what" might be trying to convey that the kid sees a box of his dads "fun things", like maybe drugs or condoms or other sexual things and of course the gun. The kid is too young to know what the other stuff is used for but he does recognize what the gun is used for, killing. The cowboy thing is just the kid thinking is needs to bring justice to his situation. His going to right all the wrongs in his life just like in cowboy movie, with a shootout. This leads me to think the kid around 10, before puberty.
