This heartfelt ballad is a testament to breaking stereotypes and promises of unwavering commitment. Dustin Lynch uses the iconic image of the cowboy, often associated with freedom, wanderlust, and heartbreak, to challenge these preconceptions. He assures his love interest that he isn't the typical cowboy who'll ride off into the sunset, leaving her behind. He might have an outlaw's blood but it doesn't define him; he's not a wildcard or a heartbreaker. Instead, he's a man who respects tradition, values honesty and has no intention of causing pain or leaving. The song beautifully unravels the narrative that not every cowboy fits into the clichéd mold we're familiar with; some defy expectations and choose love over liberty.
Not Every Cowboy
Lyrics
Not every cowboy rides a broken black mustang
Sometimes it's a two-tank, two-tone short-bed Chevrolet
And not every cowboy drinks whiskey like it's water
Some will be a man, shake your daddy's hand
And do right by his daughter
My love ain't a heartbreak country song
Girl, I bet your momma warned you 'bout guys like me
And this outlaw in my blood ain't a wildcard up my sleeve
'Cause I ain't a silhouette Stetson, heading out west
In a red sunset, and taking your heart with me
So let me show you that not every cowboy leaves
And not every cowboy leaves Laredo boots on the porch
In case he changes his mind in the middle of the night
Slips out the door
And not every cowboy is a tumbleweed that don't tumble back
Fills your eyes with tears
And your head with questions that you'll never get to ask
Girl, I bet your momma warned you 'bout guys like me
And this outlaw in my blood ain't a wildcard up my sleeve
'Cause I ain't a silhouette Stetson, heading out west
In a red sunset, and taking your heart with me
So let me show you that not every cowboy leaves
My love ain't a heartbreak country song
There's parts where the movies got it wrong
Girl, I bet your momma warned you 'bout guys like me
And this outlaw in my blood ain't a wildcard up my sleeve
'Cause I ain't a silhouette Stetson, heading out west
In a red sunset, and taking your heart with me
So let me show you that not every cowboy leaves
So let me show you that not every cowboy leaves
