Lonesome L.A. Cowboy

I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy

Hanging out, hanging on

To your window ledge, callin' your name

From midnight until dawn

I been smokin dope

Snortin' coke

Tryin' to write a song

Forgetting everything I know

Till the next line comes along

Forgetting everything I know

Till the next line comes along

Well, there's so many pretty people in the city

I swear some of them are girls

I meet 'em down at Barney's beanery

With their platform heels and spit curls

I buy 'em drinks

We smoke our hopes

Try to make it one more night

But when I'm left all alone at last

I feel like I'll die from fright

I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy

Hanging out, hanging on

To your window ledge, callin' your name

From midnight until dawn

I been smokin' dope

Snortin' coke

Tryin' to write a song

Forgetting everything I know

Till the next line comes along

Forgetting everything I know

Till the next line comes along

Well, I know Chris and Rita

And Marty Mull

Are meeting at the Troubadour

We'll get it on with the Joy of Cooking

While the crowd cries out for more

'Round six o'clock this morning

I'll be gettin' kind of slow

When all the shows are over, honey

Tell me, where do you think I go?

I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy

Hanging out, hanging on

To your window ledge, callin' your name

From midnight until dawn

I been smokin' dope

Snortin' coke

Tryin' to write a song

Forgetting everything I know

Till the next line comes along

Forgetting everything I know

Till the next line comes along
