Candle For A Cowboy

[Verse 1]

There was no denying the fire in his eyes

It was more than pueblo whiskey

It was more than a lonely night

Two hundred miles from home, perfectly alone

[Verse 2]

He had no apologies in his pocket

It was right there on his hand

A golden wedding band

When hearts began to pound, oh, but he stood his ground

[Chorus]

She lights a candle for a cowboy

And wonders why she's so alone

He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard

He was the only man who ever said, no

[Verse 3]

She said, "Is there nothing I can do to please you?"

And he said, "You make lovin' sound so easy

And it's hard to turn away and even harder to stay

And either way I go, oh, it's gonna be a long ride home"

[Chorus]

She lights a candle for a cowboy

And wonders why shes so alone

He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard

He was the only man who ever said, no, no, no, no

[Bridge]

And as he walked out the door

She loved him all the more

[Chorus]

She lights a candle for a cowboy

And wonders why she's still alone

He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard

He was the only man who ever said

He was the only man who ever said, no
