A cowboy's got a reputation For straight whiskey and one night relations For sad songs and the fool's gold he's chasin' And bare-fisted fights They say he ain't much on forever His old heart's tougher than leather Lord knows a woman deserves better So he just rides Everybody thinks a cowboy Wont let you hold him too long Restless as hell to cut another trail, saddle up and get gone Just like the sun he'll want you Then sooner or later he'll leave you Holdin' your heart and your hands while he rides of over that hill This here cowboy This here cowboy This here cowboy never will It ain't like the ride is ended The truth you know, it's just beginning 'Cos the sweet love you keep givin' Just sets me free I've still got the spirit of a rambler The true grit of a riverboat gambler And I'll reach that sunset I'm after With you next to me Everybody thinks a cowboy Wont let you hold him too long Restless as hell to cut another trail, saddle up and get gone Just like the sun he'll want you Then sooner or later he'll leave you Holdin' your heart and your hands while he rides of over that hill This here cowboy This here cowboy This here cowboy never will Just like the sun he'll want you But sooner or later he'll leave you Holdin' your heart and your hands while he rides of over that hill This here cowboy This here cowboy This here cowboy never will
