I should of married that cowboy... --------things change..... God had different plans Metal, cowboy, ghost. Metal Cowboy Ghost riding through the plains, Freaky night black, (lighting my) stars like flames, Lone wolf howl, (at the) moon’s mysterious glow, His renegade spirit where only the wild winds blow. Born from backroads, factories, and broken knuckles, Steel in his spine, yeah he learned how to struggle, Not really seen, not wild or fake, Just Midwest grit and amor fati. His heart hums prayers through guts and throne, Every mile marker feels like home, His ghost in the mirror, soul is cracked, Past on his back, but he won't look back. Campfire sparks in the dead of night, Johnny Cash echoes, black on black, Blood moon rising over county lines, His outlaw heart don’t keep time.... Chorus: I shoulda married that cowboy, Wild til the break of dawn, Restless soul, no choice but noise, Living fast till he's gone. If he fade's like smoke in the wind, This song will sing his name, Metal cowboy ghost Through dust, fire, and fame. Gravel roads know his sins too well, Every scar’s got a story to tell, fingers get numb from factory days, Clocked out dreams, unpaid faith. From Millersburg nights to clearer skies, Same damn fire behind his eyes, No badge, A kings crown, solid holy ground, Just a ghost when the sun goes down. Wheels keep turning, fate don’t care, Life ain’t fair but he's still here, 39 years today, if heaven calls, He might stall, Still got miles left after all. Bridge: If he died tonight, don’t cry for him, Pour that scotch out, let the engine scream, Than play it loud, let the speakers blow, Sound his song.. The restless soul. Final Chorus / Outro: I shoulda married that cowboy, .yeah I settled for more Singin songs up in the church now, with family sparks. When the dust settles and the fireplace is low, And the girl beside his empty spot calls his name, He;ll be riding still, somewhere out there, Metal ghost in the flame. Metal cowboy ghost. Chorus: I shoulda married that cowboy, Wild til the break of dawn, Restless soul, no choice but noise, Living fast till he's gone. If he fade's like smoke in the wind, This song will sing his name, Metal cowboy ghost Through dust, fire, and fame.
