Song Meaning of “Riding Cattle” by Brad Jones
Riding Cattle is a song about discovering joy and purpose in the midst of feeling overwhelmed, insignificant, and insignificant. It speaks of realizing that no matter what life throws at you, the beauty in life lies within the moments when you find yourself in the present moment with the things that have stuck with you in the long run.
The song suggests putting your focus on the “cattle” –the things that still remain in life- and with optimism, it encourages the listener to let go of all that is weighing them down. It alludes to the idea that the little things in life will provide nourishment and remind us of our worth.
The chorus reminds us that none of us can ignore the larger problems facing the world today, but that it’s still possible to discover joyful moments, no matter how small they may be. A moment of riding a horse, a time spent helping someone else, a moment of self-reflection- these moments can provide us with the energy and inspiration to keep going. This song is not just an ode to the beauty of life and its small moments, but also a call for us to remember that our strength lies in the moments when we take full advantage of the “cattle” we have.
