"Cowboy Blues", demo version titled, "Nudie Suit", is a song by Kesha from her fourth studio album, High Road. It was co-written by Kesha and Wrabel. It serves as the seventh track on the album.
Background[]
When asked if she was proud of any lyrics on High Road, Kesha said about this song,
| “ | I really love 'Cowboy Blues,' the one that you brought up. I love that song. The way it was created was so, it was just so natural. I went over to [cowriter Stephen] Wrabel's house and we just sat on the couch and wrote the song and read our Tarot cards. | ” |
A snippet of a demo version of the song leaked online, which featured a very different sound from the final version.
Lyrics[]
They say you know when you know (Ooh)
What do you do when you don't
They're saying love, it'll happen if it's meant to happen
But what do you do if it don't
Do you ever lie in bed with your three cats
And get obsessed with some boy you met
One time three years ago in Nashville
And you can't remember his last name?
And think
Did I fuck my whole life up?
Did I miss my one true love?
Was he right in front of me at the dive bar?
Was that you with the cowboy blues?
You asked me, "Babe, take a chance
Come on, just stay"
Why'd I leave you standing there at the dive bar?
I miss you with the cowboy-blue suit
(Sha la la la la la la la la ooh)
My therapist said
"Listen, girl, it's a love addiction"
She gave me a book on that
(Did you read it?) No
My tarot cards read
There's a dead man clinging to my aura
And to let go of the past
I can't help that I'm in bed with my three cats
I'm still obsessed with some boy I shot whiskey with
For one night, and I don't remember if he remembers me
I sit here thinking about him
Did I fuck my whole life up?
Did I miss my one true love?
Was he right in front of me at the dive bar?
Was that you with the cowboy blues?
You asked me, "Babe, take a chance
Come on, just stay"
Why'd I leave you standing there at the dive bar?
I miss you with the cowboy-blue suit
(Sha la la la la la la la la ooh)
I miss you with the cowboy-blue suit
(Sha la la la la la la la la ooh)
I miss you with the cowboy blue
Some days it's easy, some days it's hard
Sunday's the night that we met at the bar
Laughin' and dancin' and shootin' the shit
What would have happened if I'd had your kids?
Did I fuck my whole life up?
Did I miss my one true love?
Was he right in front of me at the dive bar?
Was that you with the cowboy blues?
You asked me, "Babe, take a chance
Come on, just stay"
Why'd I leave you standing there at the dive bar?
I miss you in the cowboy-blue Nudie suit
