[Verse 1]
Since I was ten years old, all I ever wanted
Was a golden palomino, saddle up and see how far we could go
Six-shooter, boots, and rope got me my first kiss at the Tweetsie Railroad
Jenny was my summer love, but it did what it does
And it was time to roll on
[Chorus]
And now she knows why they tell mamas, "Don't let your babies be one"
Here I go, go, barely knowing home or the man that I've become
One more tough guy didn't wanna see the hurt or heartache in her eyes
So I hеad west, hole in my chest
Just anothеr cowboy goodbye
[Verse 2]
Six-shooters turned into six strings and lonely rides on lonely roads
Just north of Oklahoma, she calls me crying on the telephone
Now only God knows why I won't let this doggone dream of mine die
But all I got is gotta go
Me and the boys got a show in Cheyenne tomorrow night
[Chorus]
And now she knows why they tell mamas, "Don't let your babies be one"
Here I go, go, barely knowing home or the man that I've become
One more tough guy didn't wanna see the hurt or heartache in her eyes
So I head west, hole in my chest
Just another cowboy goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
Bet you can guess before I tell you how this story unwinds
I called today and all she had to say was, "Cowboy goodbye"
[Chorus]
And I know why they tell mamas, "Don't let your babies be one"
Here I go, go, barely knowing home or the man that I've become
One more tough guy didn't wanna see the hurt or heartache in her eyes
So I head west, hole in my chest
Just another cowboy goodbye
Just another cowboy
