"I Am Not A Cowboy" lyrics

She said, "I love you, but I don't think I like you"
He held her hand and said goodbye
He had the highest possible ideals
Without a method to realize

'Cause she took care of all the things he needed
As he neglected his emotional state
As she lost interest, his hairline receded
He grew a neck beard and put on weight

He said I'm sorry I couldn't figure out
Couldn't get my act together
Couldn't make it work
The world was built for me and I did nothing in it
Maybe it's the privilege that makes it worse

So I sit at the bar with all this lost potential
Embarrassed and defeated
Has it all gone to waste?

'Cause I'm not a cowboy, and life is not a movie
These are all real people
And I made a mistake
