[ Featuring The Drifters ]
Well, I saddled up my troubles, rode into town, a troubadour of heartache, wearing a worn out frown
Left a trail of teardrops, like dust in the wind, breaking hearts of women
It's a game I can't rescind, cause I'm a heartbreak cowboy, riding in the night, leaving shattered dreams in the pale moonlight
I've got a lonesome guitar, and a pocket of pain, breaking hearts and taking names, it's my outlaw's claim
Met a blonde in Oklahoma, in a smoky bar, danced her through the darkness, but I didn't get too far
Left her with a memory, one she won't forget, and if she did it's only cause she wound up cold and dead
Cause I'm a heartbreak cowboy, riding in the night, leaving shattered dreams in the pale moonlight
I've got a lonesome guitar, and a pocket of pain, breaking hearts and taking names, it's my outlaw's claim
Through the neon glow and the honky tonk haze, I rode into trouble so many different ways
Whiskey soaked apologies and a trail of regrets, yeah I'm just a drifter of love, a man that never forgets
Found a barroom angel with eyes of the sky, but my hearts a wanderer, no need to ask me why
Left her with a memory, and a jukebox song, another heart is shattered as I move along
Cause I'm a heartbreak cowboy, riding in the night, leaving shattered dreams in the pale moonlight
I've got a lonesome guitar, and a pocket of pain, breaking hearts and taking names, it's my outlaw's claim
