Cowboys From Hell Lyrics
Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back
You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're takin over this town
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell
Pillage the village, trash the scene
but better not take it out on me
'Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge,
Can't lock me in your cage
You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're takin over this town
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back
And you all together run for cover
We're takin over this town
And you better listen my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell
but better not take it out on me
'Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge,
Can't lock me in your cage
And you all together run for cover
We're takin over this town
And you better listen my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell

I have always taken it as Pantera's way of saying, "We are out and we can kick your ass because we rock!" A lot of Pantera's songs seem to have this attitude...
It is just about them. Pantera's whole image was of a drink fuelled southern fried party machine from the south.
Am I the only one who thinks this is sort of a "theme song" for them? Texas (Cowboys) Metal (From Hell)?
Yeah, this does sound like a theme song for Pantera. This song is basically about being badass cowboys from hell.
@Richard Enahobo agreed, and having seen them support ozzy this year they are actually badass cowboys from hell!! 😂 btw Zak wild can never replace dime bag obviously, but he was fucking awesome!!!

I read the interview (which ALL of you should read apparently ) and they said it was about them being from Texas and no one thinking to associate texas with metal, so in a sense they're... well, cow-... i dunno, that's just what they said.
The song is straight forward. No more sissy glam stuff! They're the cowboys from Hell ready to pound you with their new power sound!!!
how hard is that is is about cowboys from hell common now
way to state the obvious cmoore. yes it is about cowboys from hell. i don't think it goes much deeper than that though.
It's about when whites (cowboys) went to America and killed all the 'indians'.
i dont care how the song was written its awesome
