George Strait famously sang about romantic restlessness in his show-closing signature “The Cowboy Rides Away,” but Jon Pardi upends the idea of the impossible-to-fence-in rambler in his new song “Ain’t Always the Cowboy.”
Opening with plaintive fiddle, the mid-tempo ballad sets a scene of leaving, but here it’s the woman who’s lighting out for greener pastures, leaving her man alone and lonesome. “It ain’t always the cowboy that rides away,” sings Pardi in the pay-off line, lamenting his lover’s “tumbleweed heart” and her need to go searching and running.
