Well there's a lonesome feelin' that comes over me
when i hear that highway moan
i know it's where the good lord meant for me to be
a dreamin' drifter far from home
I roam from town to town out on the interstate
i'm always only passin' through
i need my woman's lovin' she's so far away
i'm singin' the cowboy blues
Stranger don't you know i'd like to be your friend
if i had the time to stay
but i'm a tumbleweed a blowin' in the wind
i've got to catch another stage
I strap on my guitar just like a .45
i pray each night my aim is true
i'm shootin' for the heart a lookin' in your eyes
singin' the cowboy blues
Sometimes i get to thinkin' 'bout settlin' down
fade off into a memory
every night that i step out to face the crowd
i know this is the life for me
I strap on my guitar just like a .45
i pray each night my aim is true
i'm shootin' for the heart a lookin' in your eyes
i'm singin' the cowboy blues
singin' the cowboy blues
singin' the cowboy blues
