This is what Michael Gross had to say about this song on an Instagram livestream in 2020:
If I remember correctly, this song is about not knowing where you fit in. Trying to be something that you’re really not, in your heart. Just an observation I made when I was younger of people living around me....
[Verse 1]:
I hide behind these clothes
No one knows at all
I hide behind these clothes
No one knows at all
[Verse 2]:
I hide behind my girlfriend
She's fly, she's fly
I hide behind my girlfriend
She's fly, she's fly
[Chorus]:
Well, it used to be okay
But it's getting worse
It used to be okay
But it's getting worse
It used to be okay
[Verse 3]:
And I'm tired of this scene
Thеre's a lot of ladies, therе's a lot of honeys
I'm tired of this scene
Too many ladies, too many honeys
[Hook]:
Well I'm a cowboy
And I'm a cowboy
And I'm a cowboy
Now
[Chorus]:
It used to be okay
But it's getting worse
It used to be okay
But it's getting worse, oh yeah
It used to be okay, yeah
[Verse 1]:
I hide behind these clothes
No one knows at all
I hide behind these clothes
No one knows
[Hook]:
That I'm a cowboy
And I'm a cowboy
And I'm a cowboy
And I'm a cowboy
Now, now, now, now
