Sequel Songs: Author's Soundtrack to Cowboy Away

5/21/2018

 
Cowboy Away, the Soundtrack to the  In the Reins Sequel
Are you a fan of romance movies about cowboys? If the answer is YES, then get ready to saddle up and tune in to the soundtrack songs to my cowboy love story! Let's giddy up 'cause here we go!
I love to write my cowboy love stories while listening to music … all kinds of music! What I listen to depends on my mood. Some days it’s classical, sometimes it’s a movie soundtrack, other days it’s pop, jazz or classic rock, and a lot of the time it was country when I was writing the sequel to In The Reins.

Cowboy McKennon Kelly on the BIG Screen?

AND I love to watch cowboy romance movies, too! I sometimes fantasize that my cowboy romance novels, In The Reins and Cowboy Away, might become cowboy romance movies one day. Sigh ... wouldn't it be dreamy to see Cowboy McKennon Kelly steaming up the BIG screen?

All this romance writing, movie watching and silver screen daydreaming got me thinking about what the soundtrack to Cowboy Away might sound like if it was made into a cowboy love movie, so I went ahead and made my own soundtrack!

Now Playing: Songs that Inspired Cowboy Away

From ‘Space Cowboy’ by Kacey Musgraves  to ‘The Cowboy in Me" by Tim McGraw, I repeated these songs over and over while working on Cowboy Away.  Here are the 12 songs that I think would definitely make solid choices for a soundtrack to the In the Reins sequel. Happy listening!
Soundtrack to Cowboy Away, the In the Reins Sequel

1. 'Space Cowboy' by Kacey Musgraves

Could "Space Cowboy" by Kacey Musgraves be the theme song to Cowboy Away? I think it's pretty darn perfect. What do you think? Thanks to Amanda Lamb (the voice to the In the Reins Audiobook) for sharing this amazing song with me. I love my readers!
You can have your space, cowboy
I ain't gonna fence you in
Go on ride away, in your Silverado
Guess I'll see you 'round again

2. 'The Cowboy in Me' by Tim McGraw

The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes get
The things I've done for foolish pride
The me that's never satisfied
The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see
I guess that's just the cowboy in me

3. 'Hard to Love' by Lee Brice

I'm hard to love, hard to love,
Oh I don't make it easy,
I couldn't do it if I stood where you stood
I'm hard to love, hard to love,
You say that you need me,
I don't deserve it but I love that you love me good

4. 'Someone Else' by Lany

Let it go, I just can't forget about her
How do you know, if you can really be sure?
But I can't move on, I'm sorry that I loved her first
She's the only one, she's the only one, I want

5. 'Shame on the Moon' by Bob Seger

Until you've been beside a man
You don't know what he wants
You don't know if he cries at night
You don't know if he don't
When nothin comes easy
Old nightmares are real
Until you' ve been beside a man
You don't know how he feels

6. 'Whiskey And You' by Chris Stapleton

There’s a bottle on the dresser by your ring
And it’s empty so right now I don’t feel a thing
And I’ll be hurting when I wake up on the floor
But I’ll be over it by noon
That’s the difference between whiskey and you

​Come tomorrow, I can walk in any store
It ain’t a problem, they’ll always sell me more
But your forgiveness
Well, that’s something I can’t buy
There ain’t a thing that I can do
That’s the difference between whiskey and you

7. 'Desperation' by Miranda Lambert

Throw a dog a bone, I'll take it if I have to
Go real fast like there's somewhere we can get to
What's the use of standing right there on the edge if there ain't nowhere to fall?
What's the use of hangin' on tight to the phone if nobody might call?

​Desperation
There's danger in frustration
Complicated words slippin' off of your tongue and ain't one of them the truth
I'm still desperate for you

8. 'You Can Sleep While I Drive' by Melissa Etheridge

You know I've seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
You've been looking for something
That's not in your life
My intentions are true
Won't you take me with you
And baby you can sleep while I drive

9. 'Always In My Head' by Coldplay

I think of you
I haven't slept
I think I do
But, I don't forget
My body moves
Goes where I will
But though I try my heart stays still
It never moves
Just won't be led
And so my mouth waters, to be fed
And you're always in my head

10. 'Quite Like You' by Shane Smith & The Saints

Cause I have seen the distant train
She runs from the desert to the northern plains
And every town that I've been through
I never come across another quite like you
I never come across another quite like you
Like you

11. 'Wildest Dreams' by Taylor Swift

You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burn it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' it down (burnin' it down)
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around (follow you around)
​
Say you'll see me again even if it's just (just pretend, just pretend) in your wildest dreams (ah ah)
In your wildest dreams (ah ah)
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams (ah ah)
In your wildest dreams (ah ah)

12. 'What a Woman Wants to Hear' by Anderson East

From hello you had my heart
And it was over from the start
Gonna lay you down, make it clear
I'll tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman wants to hear

Love Cowboy Romance Movies?

I am a big fan of cowboy romance movies, so I wrote a post that names my top 10 romance movies about cowboys called "'Cowboy Take Me Away: A Summer Movie List." There are a ton of great recommendations in there for cowboy love story movie lovers!

A deeply romantic and suspenseful sequel, Cowboy McKennon Kelly hits the road with nothing but his memories, a pistol and hope to put his demon to rest.

Listen to the whole playlist to my cowboy romance!

If you enjoyed the music featured in this blog post be sure to gallop on over to my YouTube channel and visit my playlist called "Writing the Sequel to In The Reins" to check out ALL of the songs that inspiried me to write the sequel. The 100-something tunes I’ve compiled in the playlist on my YouTube channel helped fuel my imagination as I developed part two of McKennon and Devon's story.  

I am so excited about the journey this series is taking me on! As McKennon and Devon’s story continues, I will be sharing sneak peeks, updates and new release info on my blog for readers that can’t wait to find out what happens in the third book in the series for the handsome cowboy and his wannabe cowgirl. Do you think In The Reins and Cowboy Away are cowboy romance movie material? Have a song you'd like to see on the soundtrack? Let me know in the comments!
