Story Behind The Song

I lived in the US for 9 years and I guess this song is about what the US gives a person in terms of opportunity and the values that the country was built on and for me the cowboy is still the most romantic and iconic figure in US folklore

Lyrics

I'm just a cowboy riding thru the night
Just trying to find my way hope I'm doing alright
And all the dreams wait out there for me
I will make a home find a girl raise a family

My clothes will fit won't change them for the season
And If they ain't worn then i got no reason

I don't need city lights ill take the stars above
And I won't ride your streets it's freedom I dream of

I'm just a cowboy riding through the night
Try to see good from bad what is wrong and what is right

if you look at me and ever wonder why
Don't worry my friend I wouldn't take your riches over mine

And if you need me just shout ill hear your call
ill come riding back cos one day I may need yours
I don't need city lights ill take the stars above
And I won't ride your streets it's freedom I dream of

I'm just a cowboy riding through the night
