Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I knew the stakes were high right from the start
When she dealt the cards, I dealt my heart
Now I just found a game that I can't play
And this is where the cowboy rides away
[Chorus]
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday
And this is where the cowboy rides away
[Verse 2]
We've been in and out of love and in between
And now we play the final showdown scene
And as the credits roll, a sad song starts to play
And this is where the cowboy rides away
[Chorus]
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
This is where the cowboy rides away
[Outro]
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
And this is where the cowboy rides away
