you could never hold her. 'cause a cowboy's just got to be free. her heart was breakin'
yours was achin'
but you saddled up to follow your dreams. coffee on your campfire
wind through the barbed wire
you huddle close to the flames. though she's far behind you
the night wind reminds you. it just keeps on whisperin' her name. you can make a run for the border
try to hide at the hole in the wall. but don't you know your arms are achin' to hold her. and cowboy even though you're ridin' tall. you're riding for a fall. midnight the moons up
hands around your tin cup. the frost settles in on the sage. the nights gettin' colder
well
man you're gettin' older. t'night you're feelin' you're age. well
why don't you turn back
just saddle up and backtrack. you know you'll never find a love quite like hers. and tell me
on a cold lonesome evenin'
what the hell goods your
freedom?
don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs?
you can make a run for the border
try to hide at the hole in the wall. but don't you know your arms are achin' to hold her. and cowboy even though you're ridin' tall. you're ridin' for a fall. cowboy
