    This song is about the devils rebellion against God who is in heaven.When Brock says "cowboy dans a major player in the cowboy scene He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean Hes gonna start a war He hops in his pickup puts the pedal to the floor And says I got mine but I want more" he is putting the angel Lucifer who has everything he needs into a moonshine drinking cowboy who wants more,and when brock says "hes gonna start a war" he's reffering to the war in heaven with lucifer and god.And when brock says "he fires his rifle in the sky and says God if I have to die you will have to die" he's speaking for Lucifer when he is banished into hell. The basic interpretation to this song is Cowboy dan is basic symbology as Lucifer starting a war with God.
