[Intro – light rhythm, storytelling tone] Yeah… From Texas plains… To island waves… [Verse 1] He grew up where the longhorn roam Austin nights and a place called home Boots on dirt, wide open sky Stories told where the fire burns high But somewhere in a melody Drifted in from across the sea Steel drums dancing in his mind A different rhythm, same old time [Pre-Chorus] Two worlds turning in the same song Didn’t know it all along [Chorus] He’s a cowboy by the sea Texas roots with a melody Got that island rhythm in his soul But the western wind still takes control Yeah LeRoy, you know what I mean Dusty roads and tambourines It ain’t wrong, it’s meant to be A cowboy by the sea [Verse 2] Sunday morning, vinyl spins Banana boat songs drifting in While the sun hits cedar wood Everything just feels that good From Belafonte to the plains Different sound but same refrain Every story got its place Every rhythm finds its space [Pre-Chorus] You don’t gotta choose a side Let the music be your guide [Chorus] He’s a cowboy by the sea Texas roots with a melody Got that island rhythm in his soul But the western wind still takes control Yeah LeRoy, you know what I mean Dusty roads and tambourines It ain’t wrong, it’s meant to be A cowboy by the sea [Bridge – Calypso feel 🔥] Daylight come and the fire still burns From the plains to the tides it turns Different roads but the same old truth Music ties it all to you [Break – rhythmic groove] (Hand drums… acoustic guitar… light steel drum…) [Final Chorus – lift] He’s a cowboy by the sea Living in that harmony From the saddle to the shore He’s found something more Yeah LeRoy, this one’s for you For the stories and the view From Texas skies to ocean blue This song rides with you [Outro] Yeah… Some songs teach you… Some songs find you…
