I can use a better friend
than the one I've got my shadow
Even when the sun goes down
he will leave me by myself
In the mornin' he returns
but he doesn't ever say much
I don't wanna ride alone down
this dark and lonesome road
'Cause even cowboys
can get lonely
from time to time
'Cause even cowboys
do get lonesome sometimes
Yes but I I know one thing
I've come much too far
Yeah to let you go now
please don't let me go
Lord don't let me go
Share the silence with a fire
roll the rest of my tobacco
Tellin' stories to myself
but I know them all too well mm
When the desert night is cold
I just want someone
to hold me close
I don't wanna die alone
who's gonna love me
when I'm gone
'Cause even cowboys
can get lonely
from time to time mm
Even cowboys
do get lonesome sometimes
Yes but I I know one thing
I've come much too far
Oh to let you go now
please don't let me go
Lord don't let me go
Look into my naked eyes
reflect out into the horizon
Oh yet another day goes by
and there's not a soul in sight
As I ride into the dark
as I ride into the sunset
I guess it's time
to say goodbye
to the rider of the night
'Cause even cowboys
can get lonely
from time to time
'Cause even cowboys
can get lonesome sometimes
Yes but I I know one thing
I know one thing
I've come much too far
Oh to let you go now
please don't let me go
Lord don't let me go
'Cause even cowboys
do get lonely
Oh just like me
Yes even me
Oh just like me
Even me
