Cowboy Boots Lyrics

Cover art for Cowboy Boots lyrics by Jens Lekman

You know the thing when you have the same dream Seven hundred thirty nights in a row And when you think your dream is tryin' to tell you something And you say "tell me something I don't already know"

Just pour me a drink so I can refuse To raise my glass to these sad and worn out midnight shoes In my next dream I want a pair of cowboy boots The kind that walks the straightest and most narrow route Anywhere but back to you

Here we are down the same old street Here we are with nothing to say Your little hand trying to make it into hers But she puts it in her pocket and looks away

I keep my eyes on the sidewalk For something flippable like a die I wanna know how you forgive someone Someone you've forgiven so many times

Just pour me a drink so I can refuse To raise my glass to these sad and worn out midnight shoes In my next dream I want a pair of cowboy boots The kind that walks the straightest and most narrow route Anywhere but back to you

Anywhere but back to you

Wait...pretty sure "For something flippable like a die" should be "For something flippable like a dim" (rhymes with "times," makes more sense)

Oops..."dime"
