Lonely Cowboy

I can use a better friend

Than the one I've got, my shadow

Even when the sun goes down

He will leave me by myself

In the morning, he returns

But he doesn't ever say much

I don't want to ride alone

Down this dark and lonesome road

'Cause even cowboys can get lonely

From time to time

'Cause even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes

Yes, but I, I know one thing

I've come much too far, yeah, to let you go now

Please don't let me go, Lord, don't let me go

Share the silence with the fire

Roll the rest of my tobacco

Telling stories to myself

But I know them all too well

When the desert night is cold

I just want someone to hold me close

I don't want to die alone

Who's going to love me when I'm gone?

'Cause even cowboys can get lonely

From time to time

Even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes

Yes, but I know one thing

I've come much too far, oh, to let you go now

Please don't let me go, Lord, don't let me go

Look into my naked eye

Reflect out into the horizon

Yet another day goes by

And there is not a soul in sight

As I ride into the dark

As I ride into the sunset

I guess it's time to say goodbye

To the rider of the night

'Cause even cowboys can get lonely

From time to time

'Cause even cowboys can get lonesome sometimes

Yes, but I know one thing

I know one thing, I've come much too far, oh, to let you go now

Please don't let me go, Lord, don't let me go

'Cause even cowboys do get lonely

Oh, just like me

Yes, even me

Oh, just like me

Even me
