Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody wanna know, where did all the cowboys go?
Must've been the whiskey, maybe it was all the Marlboros
But it ain't none of that that laid 'em all low
Yeah, believe me, I know
[Chorus]
It was that midnight stare
Look in her eyes like a knife to the heart
It was that poison kiss
Cherry red lips, oh my God
Leanin' up against the bar and I know
It wasn't a smoke
It wasn't a drink
And I've got the proof
If you wanna know what killed the cowboy
A girl like you
[Verse 2]
Mmm, the way she does it, wasn't just another rodeo
Lipstick kiss on the mirror and that was all she wrote
Yeah, it's supposed to be me ridin' away
But I'm dyin' in a bed that she made
[Chorus]
It was that midnight stare
Look in her eyes like a knife to the heart
And it was that poison kiss
Cherry red lips, oh my God
Leanin' up against the bar and I know
It wasn't a smoke
It wasn't a drink
And I've got the proof
If you wanna know what killed the cowboy
Ooh, a girl like you
[Bridge]
Well, she's off in the sunset
She's out on the run
Bet she's halfway to Jackson by now
And I'm heart-broke to hell
And I'm drowning the well
While I'm telling the bartender how
[Chorus]
It was that midnight stare
Look in her eyes like a knife to the heart
And it was that poison kiss
Cherry red lips, oh my God
Leanin' up against the bar and I know
It wasn't a smoke
It wasn't a drink
And I've got the proof
If you wanna know what killed the cowboy
A girl like you
