Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer I am just a cowboy, lonesome in the trail. The song is now one of their most popular and referred to as a classic. Over time, it has become a fan favourite and one of Thin Lizzy's signature songs. Rolling Stone magazine called the song "definitive". The author of Phil Lynott: The Rocker, Mark Putterford, described the song as "a cross between Clint Eastwood and Rudolph Valentino, with a bit of George Best thrown in for good measure". AllMusic described the song as turning the commonplace into legend, or bringing myth into the modern world. "Cowboy Song" has since been described as one of Thin Lizzy's great songs because it has "one of the catchiest, most memorable twin-guitar harmony leads ever". The song begins with a mellow acoustic, country music-style introduction before a transition to up-tempo hard rock.
Written from the perspective of a cowboy, the lyrics tell of his wandering across the United States through various adventures and romances.
The song was written by frontman Phil Lynott and drummer Brian Downey. Released as a single in an edited version, it reached № 77 on the US charts, but at the time did not gain as much attention as two of their most popular songs on the same album, "The Boys Are Back in Town" and "Jailbreak". "Cowboy Song" is a song by Thin Lizzy that originally appeared on their 1976 album Jailbreak.
