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
