Lonesome Cowboy — текст песни (Chris De Burgh)

There was a lonesome cowboy, who rode his horse all day,

At night he slept in the moonlight, till he heard that midnight

Train...



And then that lonesome cowboy, looked up at the stars in the sky,

"i will leave my land and my horses, on that midnight train I will

Ride,



To the city, far across the plains,

To that city, on that midnight train, here it comes,

Choo choo choo... on that midnight train"



And then that lonesome cowboy, stepped into a bar,

A pretty girl slid over nice and easy, "boy your money wont go far."



She took him outside to an alley, he got dragged into a fight,

And a bullet sent him dying, and he cursed that moonless night



In that city, far across the plains,

In that city, he could hear that midnight train, down the line;

Choo choo choo... he could hear that midnight train



And now that lonesome cowboy is lain beneath the clay,

His horses theyre still waiting, for he is gone away;



Now if you think the grass is greener on the far side of the hill

All you cowboys, take it easy, theres no grass there at all.



In that city, far across the plains,

In that city, youd better miss that midnight train, here it comes

Choo choo choo... youd better miss that midnight train

Choo choo choo... that train is coming for you.
