Cowboy Goodbye

[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
