Jim WrightJon Pardi knows that cowboys aren’t the only ones drawn to adventure in the video for his song, “Ain’t Always the Cowboy.”
The lyrics tell the story of a restless woman who thrives on independence, told through the eyes of a horse rancher with a passion for roping, leaving her lover in the dust. Jon serves as narrator, transplanted from his Nashville home to the scenic desert in Arizona, playing guitar amongst a field of cacti and mountains adorning the background.
“I feel like the topic of the song hasn’t been written about in this way, and I love songs that approach things differently and offer fresh perspectives,” Jon says of the song in a statement.
“Ain’t Always the Cowboy” is second single off Jon’s 2019 album, Heartache Medication. It follows the chart-topping title track, along with other hits like “Head Over Boots,” “Dirt on My Boots” and “Heartache on the Dance Floor.”
