I'M A COWBOY
I'M A COWBOY, I'VE BEEN RIDING
THIS DUSTY TRAIL HAS BEEN MY HOME
UP AT SUNRISE, DOWN AT SUNSET
THIS DRIFTING LIFE IS ALL I'VE KNOWN
I KEEP RIDING, I KEEP MOVING
SOMETIMES I CAN'T WIN FOR LOSING
I'VE BEEN SHOT THROUGH HEART AND SOUL
AND GIVEN UP FOR DEAD I'M TOLD
BUT I'M A COWBOY AND I WILL LIVE
I'M A COWBOY, OUT OF TOWN BOY
STRANGE SALOONS AND BROKEN DOORS
STILL THE MEN WATCH ALL THE LADIES
AS THEY WALK THE WOODEN FLOORS
CHORUS
I'M A COWBOY, I'VE BEEN LONELY
I'VE OFTEN THOUGHT OF SETTLING DOWN
PUT THE MEMORIES OUT TO PASTURE
NEVER DRINK THAT OTHER ROUND
I KEEP RIDING, I KEEP MOVING
SOMETIMES I CAN'T WIN FOR LOSING
I'VE BEEN SHOT THROUGH HEART AND SOUL
AND GIVEN UP FOR DEAD I'M TOLD
BUT I'M A COWBOY, AND I WILL LIVE
