Shadow of a Cowboy

Hidin' underneath the silhouette of a Stetson

Eyes aiming at me like a guilty Smith and Wesson

Sippin' on whiskey even though you don't like it

You were supposed to be the John Wayne comin' in to save me

Hell, I ain't a horse, baby, why'd you try to break me

If there's something better out there worth finding

Go on run, run, run all the way to Amarillo

'Cause I know that you won't ever change

'Cause all you've done, done, done

Is tumble any way the wind blows

Thinking that you're gonna ride away

You're just a shadow of a cowboy

A real one would stay

You've said all the right things in all the wrong ways

You made up a sunset you didn't have to chase

I was dumb and young enough to blindly buy it

If you really wanna leave, baby, I won't fight it

Go on run, run, run all the way to Amarillo

'Cause I know that you won't ever change

'Cause all you've done, done, done

Is tumble any way the wind blows

Thinking that you're gonna ride away

You're just a shadow of a cowboy

A real one would stay

The realest thing about you

Yeah, the realest thing about you

The realest thing about you is me

Go on and run, run, run all the way to Amarillo

'Cause I know that you won't ever change

Oh, yeah

Done, done, done

Is tumble any way the wind blows

Thinking that you're gonna ride away

You're just a shadow of a cowboy

A real one would stay
