I wrote this as a kind of romantic ode to the iconic western film genre. The story is told by the wife or lover of the sheriff of a western town like you would see in an old John Wayne movie. The sheriff is gunned down and the song is the wife's lament.

I wanted to tell him somehow that I wanted a future with him. So I wrote a song.

I was waiting for her. I was waiting to find out the results of a pregnancy test. I was waiting to find out if I would indeed be a father and I was excited to not only start a family but to start a family with her.

No matter what you do, they refuse to try and pursue a relationship with you. Your only option of being with them is in your dreams.
