Lyrics:

Moon so bright, my eyes are weeping
Electrified tide of brilliant light
I’m venturing out, through the pounding ocean
Psilocybin speaks to my deepest mind

Aw Yeah! Lord my deepest mind, yeah
Lord my deepest mind, yeah

The waves call my name RIDE ON! Space Cowboy
Smoking that kine, high stepping through the night/sky

Stars all align to the home of my heroes
and the Milky Way, she’s is a friend of mine
She's a friend of mine, yeah Lord a friend of mine

Quiet my soul to laser focus
Tame the wild seas for your son tonight
Amphitheater formed by clouds above me
Laugh as I drop into the perfect ride

Aw Yeah! A perfect ride, yeah

The waves call my name RIDE ON! Space Cowboy
Smoking that kine, high stepping through the night/sky

Stars all align to the home of my heroes
and the Milky Way, she’s is a friend of mine
She's a friend of mine, yeah Lord a friend of mine

Waves so high, my body’s peaking
Psilocybin ride through electric nights
Man I’ve made my peace
With the pounding ocean
And the milky way, she says she’s a friend of mine.

Ohh Yeah! She’s a friend of mind, yeah

The waves call my name RIDE ON! Space Cowboy
Smoking that kine, high stepping through the night/sky

Stars all align to the home of my heroes
and the Milky Way, she’s is a friend of mine
She's a friend of mine, yeah Lord a friend of mine

I stand with my old guitar, to you I’ll be faithful
Just give me little action every now and then
And when I pluck upon these steel strings
It all comes to a stand still
My love song’s sung to the southern wind

To the southern wind

About the Song:

"Space Cowboy" is a shout out to all the cosmic cowgirls and cowboys from East to West. All summer long, the band has been playing this new funky new jam to our local fanbase. It tells the story of a local surf break in Encinitas that we sometimes surf by moonlight. A few times, psychedelics were involved, the Milky Way stars exploded around us, our imaginations were set on fire, and the sky's constellations came to life.

Such is the life and times of a soul surfing space cowboy. Enjoy.

About the Live Video:
As with previous shows, I’m going to release a song a week until the complete show is uploaded and archived on Substack. This concert is being released in support of the new single “Perpetual Change” (released on November 8, 2024). We started video taping and recording our live shows consistently in 2023, when I took over the live sound. Prior to that the recording sound quality was a bit spotty.
