This song was not specifically written for this album. Randy Newman had already recorded it for his debut album, but only the Nilsson’s version included the harpsichord outro. It could be seen as a reference to “Everybody’s Talking”. This song was written by Fred Neil, but the cover by Nilsson was...
[Verse 1]
Cold, gray buildings
Where a hill should be
Steel and concrete
Closin' in on me
City faces haunt the places
I rode alone
[Chorus]
Cowboy, cowboy
Can't run, can't hide
It's too late to fight now
Too tired to try
[Verse 2]
Wind that once blew free
Now scatters dust to the sky
[Chorus]
Cowboy, cowboy
Can't run, can't hide
It's too late to fight now
Too tired to try
Cowboy was written by Randy Newman.
Cowboy was produced by Harry Nilsson.
Harry Nilsson released Cowboy on Sun Feb 01 1970.
