I’m off for the dance, it’s Saturday night
I’m a two steppin’ Cowboy, in the fading sunlight
I think about love and maybe settling down
As the sun starts to set on my way into town
Sunset shows are the Western way
We think about love as they wordlessly say
That the truth about love, if truth is involved
Is that love is a riddle, not meant to be solved
All day the sky is blue, then brilliant colors lead to dark
In hues I can’t describe, a gift to me from the evening sky
Sunlight warms my face, soft colors warm my heart
They are delivered like a child’s blushing, the purest form of art
I’m solitary soul at a show that’s meant for no one
I’m not sure how long I’ll stay, though every single day
When the sunlight starts to fade, I ride out to see the evening show
With the boyhood joy of cowboy life I simply can’t outgrow
So tonight I’ll I love like I dance, embracing emotion
As the band plays a song that won’t end in devotion
Happy in my solitude I’ll forever ride free
And avoid love’s goatheads a cowboy can’t see
