Cowboy Dan Lyrics

Cover art for Cowboy Dan lyrics by Modest Mouse

sakebox and whitetide, you both have good points. To me Cowboy Dan represents the white man taking over indian reservations. Getting drunk and pissed and starting a war against the weaker indians sounds like those old john wayne cavalry movies. The line. "I got mine, but I want more" simply means to me more land... am I making any sense??

has nothing to do with indian reservations and nothing to do with actual cowboys or native americans. get real. modest mouse is much much deeper than that.
