Ian Cuthbertson - A Cowboy Needs A Cigarette Lyrics

Well, a cowboy needs a cigarette
Like a dog needs a bone
Howlin' at the moon
Searchin' for his home
Stayin' out till the break of day
With nowhere left to roam
Yeah, a cowboy needs a cigarette
Like a dog needs a bone
Lost out in the darkness
Helpless and afraid
I was livin' in my pity
I thought I had it made
Well, it only takes a moment
To throw it all away
And I'm one more bad decision
From livin' my last day
Well, a poet needs a tragedy
Like a magician needs a trick
Saw some lady right in half
And pretend that it's magic
Hope nobody realized
It's embellished quite a bit
Yeah, a poet needs a tragedy
Like a magician needs a trick
I'm beggin' for forgiveness
I'm sayin' pretty please
Oh Lord, don't you hear me
I'm down on my knees
Well, I just want these shackles taken off of me
Dear Lord, make the devil
Turn loose and set me free
Dear Lord, make the devil
Turn loose and set me free
From dusk until dawn
Flick off
Flick on
From the birds and the bees
And the fish and the trees
The skies and the seas
And the dogs and the fleas
It's all me
It's all me
It's all me
