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