Lyrics I Am Not the Only Cowboy - Josh Joplin Group

I Am Not the Only Cowboy

And it starts like this we crave to be kissed
by a moment complete in its happiness
Far away from the things that we wish to escape
that lead us to think we are not awake
We are ourselves despite ourselves
this place gets smaller as the universe swells
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually.
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
And I am not the only life guard who’s
washed up on the shore
CHORUS: Wake me up take me out
Calm me down when I’m in doubt
And I’m in doubt
Everyday
And words are like weight with density and shape modifying forms they
evaporate
You can choose the truth you can listen to light
you can lead the charge and still loose the fight
Far be it for me to claim anything
for I am just one in a state of being
I come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
I am not the only proverb that never really fits
And I am not the only Caulfield catching more than kids
CHORUS
And so it ends as it begins as everything
that is infinite ascends
Into it’s time all things pass all things fade all things last
You are yourself despite yourself
this world grows smaller as the universe swells
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
I am not the only boxer that hasn’t words to write
And I am not the only poet who’s much too scared to fight
CHORUS
And it starts like this we crave to be kissed
by a moment complete in its happiness
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
