I Am Not the Only Cowboy - Josh Joplin Group

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
