Cowgirl In The Sand
Neil Young · Official Release Series Discs 1 - 4 [2012]
Is this place
at your command
Can I stay here
for a while
Can I see your
sweet sweet smile
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same?
It's the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.
Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band
begun to rust
After all
the sin we've had
I was hopin' that
we'd turn back
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same
It's the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.
Hello woman of my dreams
This is not
the way it seems
Purple words
on a grey background
To be a woman
and to be turned down
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same
It's the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.
Cowgirl In The Sand
Neil Young's "Cowgirl In The Sand" appears on the Official Release Series Discs 1 - 4, a compilation of his extensive discography. The track exemplifies Young's signature blend of folk-rock and country influences, characterized by his distinctive vocal delivery and acoustic-driven instrumentation. Released within a collection spanning multiple decades, the song reflects the artist's enduring exploration of rural themes and personal narrative. As part of his broader body of work, the recording maintains the raw, unpolished aesthetic that has defined his career since the 1960s. The piece stands as a testament to Young's ability to craft evocative storytelling through music, capturing the essence of the American West without relying on specific lyrical references.
