COWBOY SONG


COWBOY SONG

I’m just a lonesome cowboy
Out on this lone prairie
Good things in life are simple
For someone like me
Campfires coffee and cigarettes
A guitar I play at night
One more day fades away
The sky fills with starlight
Coyotes howl at the moon
A COWBOY SONG
About living the blues
That’s how I feel
When I think of you
Just one more
COWBOY SONG out of tune
Play one more
COWBOY SONG out of tune
Many rough and dusty roads
I’ve traveled in my time
Used this Colt more than once
Just to save my life
Work don’t stop in a raging wind
No shelter from rain or sun
Bitter cold and so far from home
Some folks think it all sounds like fun
I don’t even know how I came to chose
This line of work I’m in
Seems to me it had something to do
With a lady I knew back when
She loved me but couldn’t see me fit in
With her kind of society
I was riding to chase her memory away
But it don’t want to leave
CHORUS: repeat
Instrumental bridge
CHORUS: repeat
