The cowboy will never get married to yougirl

It's the fightin' that he just can't bear

But when there's women and whisky and beer-drinkin' brawls

The cowboy will always be there



He'll sing you sad songsgirl'cause that's all he knows

And soon you'll be listenin' to

Solutions to problems you don't even have

As he unloads his wisdoms on you



He'll have you believin' he's one-of-a-kind

And that his kind knows what livin's for

He's a dreamer by naturea liarand soon

He'll have you believin' he's more



He'll say he's a lonerto cover the truth

Some sympathy might see him through

Just a hand on his shoulder and a bottle of that booze

Then all he'll be needin' is you



He'll drink all your whiskyto clear out his head

Of the drinkin' he's already known

And with a little persuasionhe'll lie in your bed

And when you wake upyou're alone



Now you're feelin' sorryand the cowboy is gone

He just a-has ta be a-movin' along

But honey when you get lonesometurn your radio on

And the cowboy will sing you a song
