Lonesome cowboy, cowboy You’re a long long way from home Lonesome cowboy, lonesome cowboy a long long way to roam
I’m a poor lonesome cowboy I’m a long long way from home And this poor lonesome cowboy Has got a long way to roam Over over prairies From dawn till day is done My horse and me keep riding Into setting sun There are guys who just figure Have problem with a gun And a finger on a trigger Can be dangerous, hurt someone But problems solve much better By calm and true My horse and me riding I ain’t nobody’s fool
But it doesn’t bother me this poor lonesome cowboy Prefers a horse for company Got nothing against women But I wave them all goodbye My horse and me keep We don’t like being tied to roam
