The song is a mid-tempo in the key of B-flat major, although it ends on an E♭M7 chord. Its verse are in alternating measures of 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures, with a chorus mainly in 4/4 time. It is mainly accompanied by guitars and light percussion.
In it, the male narrator compares his personality to that of his lover, saying that the two are like "cowboys and angels".
Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four stars out of five, praising Lynch's "sturdy voice" while saying that the chorus "showcases his natural talent." The song also received a favorable review from Matt Bjorke of Roughstock, who wrote that Lynch's "smooth baritone is clear and effective and the lyric is sweet and right on point."
"Cowboys and Angels" is a song written and performed by George Michael and released on Epic Records in 1991. Among other things, the song is notable for being written in waltz time. It became the first and only single released by Michael in his career that did not make the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. It peaked at number 45 on release in March 1991.
The song's lowly sales figures were not a surprise as it was the fifth single to be released from the Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 album. (Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 was released in the UK on September 3, 1990 and in the US on September 11, 1990.) Each single had finished lower than its predecessor and "Cowboys and Angels" continued the spiral, although the other four had all made the threshold of the Top 40.
"Cowboys and Angels" was also Michael's longest single to date, at 7 minutes 14 seconds.
In a 2014 docu-concert based on Michael's performance at the Opera Garnier during his Symphonica tour, Michael revealed the song was about a short lived bisexual three way relationship he was in, wherein the woman had fallen in love with him and he had fallen in love with the man.
Too simple to be true When you prefer your lies You don't want to see through It's right before your eyes Believe me There's something That you have never seen When night falls There's nothing To save you from the things In your darkest dreams And in this ghost town it's sundown It's you against me I keep my eyes open wide And I will ride with Cowboys and angels The horses are restless And they can smell the fear The streets now are empty The wind is all you hear It's too late To change now It's time to win or loose It's just me and you now The weapons that you choose Were made for fools And in this ghost town it's sundown It's you against me I keep my eyes open wide And I will ride with
