Thin Lizzy - CowBoy Song | With Lyrics | Album Version |

[MrPurplepuma]

Cuts Hard, Soars High, "Here We Go"!

[annette6456]

rip brother



[Ishotjustinbeiber]

Thin Lizzy ( the cover band ) at the war memorial in Johnstown. They were great. Actually, them and Black Lable Society and Judas priest <- they were freaking amazing.

[rixtube77]

What a song and what memories. Awesome guitar work...a true rocker! Classic rock n' roll pure and simple.

[BlutoUSN]

My Westpac Anthem...

[Metallicarapesu]

stuff anyone who wants to waste their hearing on pop music!!!! THIS is music at its finest!!!

[johncarrizales]

thin lizzy fuckin rocks roll me over and turn me around

[lagodog]

The days of real rock and roll, before the 80's!! If we could just go back!!

[LocoRico89]

A black guy who is Brazilian decent from Ireland. Seems unlikely for him to sing about being an American cowboy...And it rocks!

[specialedd64]

Clean & classic rock & roll...absolutely timeless

[BlutoUSN]

A Simple, Beautiful Perfection...

[L337Zombie]

Thin Lizzie Seattle Wa Tonite!!

[MrMaxMastery]

best song ever written. performed by, saddly, the most under rated band ever. Thin Lizzy.

[rockguru123]

R.I.P Phil and Gary!

[TwoHighways]

A black guy from Ireland knows more about being a cowboy than any of those clowns in Nashville. From a native Texan!!!

[develia]

Metallica's repeated mentions of Thinny Lizzy as their inspirations brought me here.. and i am so glad i did.. this is undoubtedly one great hard rock song

[erickoso2188]

3 people are just plain stupid,deaf and retarded.

[HuDaFuK]

This is freaking great, don't get me wrong, but the Live And Dangerous version kicks its ass for me.

[MrEddie7606]

The guitar is the best part of this tune!!!

[williamped1]

This absolutely brings f**'n brings tears to your eyes. Listen to the way the two rhythm guitars play off one another. this is pure rock and roll soul. No studio production tricks needed,(not that they had alot in 1976), just kick ass rock and roll at it's finest! Let it not be forgotten

[BobTheSkeleton]

@williamped1 I have fond memories of this song, I used to walk to my old high school to watch a freind preform in chorus, and I remember one time this song started playing on my cd player just as I got to the school, when I hear it, it reminds me of the good ol days.

[praisethedog]

dave bachinsky

[babcock3613]

I think I like the second solo better...

[nosleepify]

Ryden horses shooten guns and drinken any wisky

[oblanob]

down below the border tasmania

[Paddaricko]

any cowboys out there? Love this song.

[Paddaricko]

I can't get enough of this song. 

[greatonetocali]

great tune!!!!!

[Bbendfender]

Was Gary Moore playin' with Thin Lizzy when they cut this song?

[bertmustin]

@Bbendfender

No he wasn't. Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson played on this album.

[smokumjoe]

@Bbendfender

It was only Scott Gorham.. Robbo wasn't really participating at that point

[BennieAA]

thin lizzy had the perfect guitar sound

[mindpower64]

The best song ever and the 2 best guitarsolos of all time in the same song :-)

Its so much in this song musically so i never get tired of it.

Some day i`ll might play it so well as the boys do :-)

[stellastarr69]

Happy St. Patrick's Day to the coolest Irishman of ALL TIME...Phil Lynott.

[XxMinka]

i am just a cowboy, baby ^_^

[LaverGuzzi]

When cable TV first came out and I was watching Showtime they had something called "Video JukeBox" between movies. This was the FIRST video I ever saw. On Showtime in the late '70s. Still a GREAT song.

[ValterBlackDemon]

My avorite song to do on live band karoke!! The band loves it too!!

[danielc121162]

@ValterBlackDemon tool cool, just started to learn this song myself last week on my acoustic, played it for some friends the other day still an acoustic version but I love it. would love to do it for a crowd someday with my band and someone who sings better than I. ha ha ha :))

[ArmTheHelp909]

anybody else keep playing the second solo just to hear those drum rolls? amazing guitar work equally amazing drumming

[TheLuciferswolf]

FUCKIN' SOLO MAKES ME HARD !,,!

[XxMinka]

@TheLuciferswolf nice to know lolz i love the solo too ^_^

[TheUnclehowie]

Thanks Gary It was a great trip rest now. Ifound my certian female in Texas here I go

[longwhip]

There WILL NEVER BE another song written like this one ever in the history of modern music...no way ever could this song be topped or lyrics mean so many things to so many people and it always takes you back to the first time you heard it! I love you Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy...Thank You for everything you have done for the music world!

[bigredoneder]

When I hear something from the Jailbreak album, I always think of the Hair of the Dog album by Nazareth, and vice versa. I guess it's because they came out close together in '75 and '76. Some of the best rock of my life.

[fujigas1]

For me the best Lizzy song ever! Brings back great memories of being 14 back in 1978. Spent the best parts of a months paper round wages and waited 3 weeks for delivery just to get this on 7" Vinyl. Had to order it from the US as it was never released on 7" in the UK but just had to have it! an still got it to this day, played to death mind ya! lol

[ajohn20TJ]

Best song on the jail break album...which is one of the great AOR albums of its time

[MsWolfy13]

2 people are really f---ed up. Classic band, classic voice, classic riffs - 'nuff said.

[jmac5058]

How could I have forgotten how mighty tinlizzy was/is,it is quite possibly the best song ever A cowboys life is the life for me.

[DonAn2n92]

I was at a rock bar in my hometown with some friends, just hanging out then this song came on and i just blocked everything around me and rocked hard as fuck! Thin Lizzy is sick

[truthislight]

@DonAn2n92 Man same thing happened to ME. We were beers deep out in the desert under a full moon and raging camp fire and THIS came on. WAS life changing mate!! Unreal SONG.

[SmashingFloyd]

I didn't know a song could kick so much ass.

[dirtyanimal80]

Thin Lizzy is my official religion.

[clapton1958]

@dirtyanimal80 I think you should list it as your religion next time the census comes around. Although my apologies for not joining you; my religion is Rock'n'Roll.

[sliestcarpenter]

Thin Lizzy were a really great band and this song was their masterpiece

[zig9111]

WOW this truley is a legand

[kelmakov]

2:25 !!!

[djd32791]

best thin lizzy song

[metallicakikzazz]

kik azz song

[Spicoli302]

Song Rocks... but Black Rose did it better! :p

[Spicoli302]

Song Rocks... but Black Rose did it better! :p

[ed9455]

Rock on ! , Man i wish rock was back already !

[WoodRatGirl]

Makes me miss Phil :(

[dano1676]

wow! still in love with this song. I Always used to talk about headphones in my old football helmet, imagine this one, who needs pumpin up before the game lol

[KNOTTYMAN]

How in the H#ll can somebody not like this song?

[dEcIbElEvEl]

@KNOTTYMAN - Good question, I have no idea other than REALLY bad tastes...

[0marigolds]

@KNOTTYMAN so true, this is the BEST!!!!

[heavynumbertaco]

Killer killer killer song. We used to cover it back in the day and did it a little bit faster to make it more danceable. Just a badass song. And like you said,a tragic loss,melody shrugged Damn

[0marigolds]

a song that makes me feel 30 feet tall!!! sweet!

[crazyfndennis]

my favorite Thin Lizzy song of all time. Phil Lynotte was such a tragic loss.

[flipcity47]

simple chords and twin leads,what could be better?.........Twin sisters maybe ;)

[ajohn20TJ]

Best song on the jail break album, and they could reproduce it live ...saw them twice!

[butchieman]

greatest band of the '70"s

[shatchett0]

Awesome pic of Phil. A true rocker.

[pwg1126]

Too cool, I love this song. It reminds me of the 70s. I was in high school and heard a band play this. Great band.

[MrSpawnlord]

Thank you God for Phil Lynott...........BEAUTIFUL

[carsyn]

Oh God. I used to be sort of annoyed when in the live version he shouts, "THE COYOTE CALL" like 3 times. But I just realized how truly fucking beautiful it is. I can't bear to hear it now without him screaming it to the crowd. I wish i was there every inch of my yearns to be there in Phil's presence.

[FellipePSC]

RIP phill genius!

[marskid00]

love this this in in wat the fuck is a bachinskyi love that skating movie

[stinkpot7]

I wish Phil was a better drug taker.  What a waste

[fadfkjfds]

my holly jesus what a beautiful song. gives me chills. if i were a woman, i'd wet my panties.

[Grumberf]

Tough he always sang can't finde light but i know he sings Camfire light Im just silly :)

1.Thin LIzzy

2.Thin Lizzy

3.Thin Lizzy

There is noone else IM JUST A COWBOY LONESOME ON THE TRAIL LORD IM JUST THINKING ABOUT A SURTENT FEMAL!

[MrBritishSteel]

bloody awesome.

I am 14, Thin Lizzy is one of my all-time fave bands, and in my opinion this is one of the best 10 songs ever written. ever. I went to see Limehouse Lizzy (the best tribute band ever) live, and they were amazing, but still not quite the same - no one can reach the same level of greatness

RIP Mr Lynott :'-(

[qtips3]

any true blue fan dont need lyrics the song is in the blood and the heart thin lizzy forever

[aerowayne1]

Rock And Roll Hall Of Famers in my mind. And I don't think its really is a Rock and Roll of Fame with out them.........................

[tornmask]

@aerowayne1 : Roc'n Roll Hall of Shame is a real "JOKE"!..unfortunately their are Musicians, Groups, Duets, Singers & Producers that shoulda, woulda, coulda've been nominated but they'er not...who are these people that makes the decisions?

[aerowayne1]

@tornmask Morons,they need to let the fans of rock n roll elect the people who really belong in there stupid club. And Thin LIzzy would get my vote.

[tornmask]

@aerowayne1 : AMEN! =o]

[markkickmark]

Underrated band with some of the best guitar players EVER!

[stellastarr69]

The guitar solo in this song is one of, if not my favorite of all time.

[flyingsnoop]

@stellastarr69 :)

[islandwarrior808]

@stellastarr69 oh hell yeah! I love that solo too!!

[dan3452648]

@stellastarr69 Which one?

[stellastarr69]

@dan3452648 Both of them

[MBPLmovies]

@stellastarr69 i have to agree with you :):)

[KCINUAEB360]

@stellastarr69 which one? there is two solos in this song.

[gtr362]

Boss, this is the real boss!!!

[JPearson1987]

Not sure you need the "the".

Boss, this is real boss!!! works aswell in the context of using a word completly out of context.

[jeradschulte]

rap is for the simple minded  and illiterate

[reprahdm]

@jeradschulte WELL SAID

[85StarESI]

I used to think like you, until I decided to at least give it a try. Now, I listen to rap almost as often and rock or any other music style. There's no doubt that you'll find a lot of trash in rap, but the same can be said about every other genre.

It's sad to know that someone could go through their entire life hating something they could have very well enjoyed; if only they had learned to put their prejudice aside.

[jeradschulte]

well said ! but rap takes the cake when it comes to explicit lyrics. clasic rock is nowhere near rap in that department. so i say again its for the simple minded

[panda2621]

@jeradschulte Rap Blows!!!!! in my opinion, except for old rap

[misfits4life1]

remindes me of a female friend who lives life to the fullest

[briant420]

This is quite possible the best fuckin song ever.

[psike5000]

yes it fucking is dude!!! Phil Lynott will never die!

[mtkilla253]

@briant420  it is

[deadpammy]

@briant420 True that bother :)

[deadpammy]

@briant420 or brother, teehee!

[WolfBlitzersBitch]

@briant420 Quite possibly...



[ihopesome1readsthis]

@briant420 quite possibly get some learnin I T  I S

[TheMysticpapa]

We need to treat all rappers like candy!!! After you're done with the candy...throw away the (w)rappers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[slowrollRod]

YOU CAN'T FADE OR FUCK WITH CLASSIC ROCK !

rap on the other hand is destine to return from where it came the f n ghetto and fade away !

[fletch868]

Got my nephew into Lizzy,he's 21 and loves them!

[junia123321]

I would love to see them again but that have to wait for some years, cause I have a long life leaft.

But still this Is one of the best! The best line up I think Is snowy white and ´Gorham lissen to them at Germany live 81 preforms My baby Drives Me Crazy It's One of a kickass period of Thin Lizzys fame.

My 2nd line up Is Live in Sydney Gorham and Gary More, but I do think this line up with Gorham and Brian Robertson Is good to.

// I know I spell bad , English aint my language !THIN LIZZY

[OZmast3r]

@junia123321

they were at wacken open air 2009

[biggfingger5]

@junia123321

English may not be your language,but where great music is concerned,it really does not matter.

[MissRushandRoll]

Oh man the guitar sound on here...!

Amazing.

[wolf4k]

Thin Lizzy fucking rocks

[cell9song]

the second guitar solo is probably one of the finest representations of pure hard rock ever put to vinyl

[bighamm1911]

Yes.

[hoffdaddy88]

This song is the best and i listin to all music

[hudyvilla]

I Just The CooooowBoy.....

I love this song xD

[ChrisRockstar00]

Hey This Guy Got The Lyrics Mixed Up In Two Different Verses

[wiz9496]

[bawbagio]

[Roctarspally]

Haha! By the way this is best song I have lissen to In my hole life! I think the coppy makeing Metallica don't deservs a game, I think Thin Lizzy does.

( Oh and I have heard In the beginning Eric Bell named the band ''Thin Lizzie'' and then they change it agein,But that meaby aint true)

[horrorbusiness420]

i am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail.

[AussieGuitarGirl]

this song is so amazing.... i remember the first time my dad played this to me on his vionel version...... its just amazing....

[wed879]

i love this song, it is in the skatebording movie what the fuck is a bachinskiy:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Ayrshirenutter]

[tomtomhulu]

Giddy Up!

[minnman37]

[Roctarspally]

Did Phill Lynott get born In England. Grow up in Ireland? Or reverse?

[Ayrshirenutter]

[deeps32470]

Born in England. Went to live with family in Dublin where the magic happened and we got the best band to ever grace the Emerald Isle

[Roctarspally]

Okey, bad he died so earlie.

[Klaymator97]

[TEDISKEWL]

[eireisthebest]

[mrstratomaster]

[paladinsrook]

one of the greatest guitar songs ever . Love this

[snooloui04]

Your wrong paladinsrook. It is the best.

[sunphuk]

Its ok Amigo, Just let me go..

I'm ridin in the Rodeo...

[barryismygod]

this song reminds me of a friend of mine that passed away recently..........he always wanted to be a cowboy.....

[jamesrg1here]

thin lizzy are amazing i love them

[eireisthebest]

for your own sake don't listen to metalica and mastadon's covers of thin lizzy they just don't compare to the originals :)

[wacmac1]

Fuckin A Right!!! they are nothin compared to the TL shredders!!!!

[eireisthebest]

i'm glad you think so

[rtruss40]

Great song Great Band and just a flat out great era of Rock and we will never see this again

[poet973]

I was born in '73 and my uncle was 18. Thankfully, he seemed to want to take me everywhere he went after I was out of diapers. This was one of the bands we would listen to while driving around in his Chevelle. I love this song.

[bamathful]

Ok, I admit I'm kind of old...but i shared this song with my son; he took a copy of this to his highschool when he was a junior and the teacher asked them to share some music. He said that when the song first started they all looked skeptical but when the song got to ripping everyone was amazed. They had never heard of Thin Lizzy. A great song and band who didn't get the recognition they deserved.

[eireisthebest]

well put i agree completely and it saddens me to think that the only reason that the band aren't considered one of the best groups of their time is because they were an Irish group.... i mean look at some of the bands that came from england and weren't as good as Lizzy but just because there English.....

[rtruss40]

That and the fact the radio stations only played two songs

[eireisthebest]

what do you mean ?

[radsonic0913]

Was there....and did that. Whoever said this was the best era for music,.....well said, I will have to agree.

[RingMasterJuggalo36]

love this the first time i heard this song and jail break then of course whisky in the jar i knew i was listining to gods

[ibanezjem224]

Awesome!

God i wish i was alive in that era of music.Music today is almost all shit now.

[lgunzlgirl]

agreed

[Metaldeathful]

Love this song, its just a great song that gets you out of the dumps and helps you with those problems you have with everyone person experence

[cowchmawnster]

Ah...this is my favorite Thin Lizzy song....too bad I wasn't around to see them play :'(

[cinel22]

I love me some Thin Lizzy. This song takes me back to the day. Love it!!

[americanboyinlodon]

this song is awesome.

[AlexR4444]

In the past month since I first listened to this song, it has become one of my favourites, and doesn't look likely to change being so either. Also, the second guitar solo is only the second one I've heard that I prefer from the studio than live.

[deepwatertree]

Indeed, one of the best songs in rock history...considering I was only 10 years old when Phil died, I wasn't fortunate enough to witness them live, but whenever I want a lift for my Spirit, I pop on the Peel Sessions CD...

Rock on, Phil...say hello to Jimi and Bill Hicks for me ;)

[DimitriPetrenko]

very nice comment :D

[deepwatertree]

Cheers! =]

[TheCityOfKingsALC]

my fav. thin lizzy song. god they rocked. I only wish I had been around to see them.

[rossycee08]

same!

[PissedOff803]

I MISS PHIL.

[digbycurrents]

The world will never see a band like Thin Lizzy, ever again. Thank God I lived through the era in which they graced the Earth.
