Sometimes I lay awake and wonder
Will I ever find my soul
I've wasted so much time with people
For whom I never cared at all
Remember I told you you were different as we strolled together
Through the Dell
And as another cloud bursts in Auld Reekie
I'm 39 steps closer on to hell
39 steps closer on
And in my mind I'm just a cowboy
And I'm herding cattle through the Dell
Camping out beneath the starlight
Waiting for our rodeo to end
Our rodeo to end
The campfire embers are now dying
The dog's been fed and settled down
I rub my tired eyes and wonder
If I'll ever stick around
It seems that I must wander through my life
Go where my feet tell me to go
If I don't stay with you I'll miss you
39 steps left for me to know
39 steps left to go
And in my mind I'm just a cowboy
And I'm herding cattle through the glen
Camping out beneath the starlight
Waiting for our rodeo to end
And in my mind I'm still a cowboy
Always herding cattle through that glen
And camping out beneath the starlight
Waiting for our rodeo to end
Waiting for our rodeo to end
