And I wonder what he's thinking on his own

 He's promised me his heart and he says he really loves me
 and I'll marry him as soon he's coming home

 [Chorus:]
 I'm riding in the desert and I'm heading into nowhere
 The sun is showing me the way
 I'm riding alone
 I'm looking for adventure cause I left my girl in texas
 I'm a stranger and I'm riding alone

 I'm working as a waitress the saloon is never empty
 I got so many suitors all around

 Although some are very handsome they will never get my hand
 bacause I'm waiting for my cowboy to come home
