In this neon-lit saloon where the circuits meet the dust There's a story 'bout connection and a heart that learned to trust Silicon valleys meet the valleys where the tumbleweeds still roll Where the data streams like whiskey and it burns right through your soul The satellites are watching from that big Montana sky While the servers hum a lonesome tune that makes the angels cry We're digital cowboys riding frequencies instead of trains Downloading our emotions through these fiber optic veins The prairie meets the future where the old and new collide In this electronic honky-tonk, there ain't nowhere to hide Got my boots upon the floorboard of this self-driving Chevrolet While the GPS is singing all the songs of yesterday The banjo's playing breakbeats and the fiddle's gone electric This modern kind of heartbreak is beautifully synthetic They say the West was won with pistols and gold But now we're mining bitcoins and the story's retold From Nashville to the network, from the ranch to the cloud We're country boys with keyboards and we're coding out loud We're digital cowboys riding frequencies instead of trains Downloading our emotions through these fiber optic veins The prairie meets the future where the old and new collide In this electronic honky-tonk, there ain't nowhere to hide So here's to all the dreamers in their pickup trucks with screens Living somewhere in between their granddad's world and laser beams We're keeping tradition while the world is going quantum In this techno-country fusion, we've got more than we could want from We're digital cowboys, yeah, we're riding on the wireless plains Streaming all our stories through these electronic chains Where the campfire is a laptop and the cattle are all code This is country music traveling down the information road
