About This Song


This song tells the story of a cowboy who leaves the plains for the beaches of Hawaii, trading his saddle for a surfboard. Despite finding a new home under the palm trees and falling in love with a girl who embodies the island spirit, he remains nostalgic for the prairie stars and the wide-open moon. The chorus reflects his inner conflict, as he rides waves instead of horses but dreams of the range. The bridge highlights his love for the island life while acknowledging his longing for the wild wind of the plains. The song concludes with an image of him on the shoreline, still dreaming of his cowboy days.

cowboy in Hawaii

Written by Nash Wyatt

(Verse 1)
He traded in his saddle for a surfboard,
Left the dusty plains for the ocean’s roar.
Underneath the palm trees, he found a new home,
But his heart still wandered where the buffalo roam.

(Chorus)
He’s a cowboy in Hawaii, with a lonesome smile,
Riding waves instead of horses, dreaming all the while.
The sun sets on the ocean, but his heart’s out on the range,
A cowboy in Hawaii, where everything has changed.

(Verse 2)
He met a girl with flowers in her hair,
Her laughter like the breeze, so light and fair.
They danced under the moonlight, to a ukulele’s tune,
But he missed the prairie stars and the wide-open moon.

(Chorus)
He’s a cowboy in Hawaii, with a lonesome smile,
Riding waves instead of horses, dreaming all the while.
The sun sets on the ocean, but his heart’s out on the range,
A cowboy in Hawaii, where everything has changed.

(Bridge)
He loves the island life, the sand between his toes,
But there’s a part of him that longs for where the wild wind blows.
He’ll always be a cowboy, no matter where he roams,
In the heart of Hawaii, he’s still searching for home.

(Chorus)
He’s a cowboy in Hawaii, with a lonesome smile,
Riding waves instead of horses, dreaming all the while.
The sun sets on the ocean, but his heart’s out on the range,
A cowboy in Hawaii, where everything has changed.

(Outro)
So if you see him on the shoreline, with a faraway gaze,
Know he’s dreaming of the prairies, and those old cowboy days.
A cowboy in Hawaii, where the sea meets the sky,
Living in paradise, but his heart’s still riding high.
