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