Jens Lekman - I Want a Pair of Cowboy Boots lyrics

rate me

You were in my dream last night

like every night seems two years ago

I think my dream is tryin to tell me something

and I say tell me something I don't already know

Just find me a drink so I can refuse

to raise my glass to these sad and worn out midnight shoes

in my next dream I want a pair of cowboy boots

the kind that walks the straight and most narrow roots

Anywhere but back to you

here we are at the same old street

here we are with nothing to say

my little hand tryin to make it into yours

but you put it in your pocket and look away

I keep my eyes on the sidewalk

but something flippable like a time

I want to know how to forgive someone

someone you forgive so many times

Just find me a drink so I can refuse

to raise my glass to these sad and worn out midnight shoes

in my next dream I want a pair of cowboy boots

the kind that walks the straight and most narrow roots

Anywhere but back to you

Anywhere but back to you

Anywhere but back to you

Anywhere but back to you
