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
