Denim Dan was a cowboy man
And he dressed the part
Look here now he can't stand
From the breakin' in his heart
Off the wagon again
And all the trouble he's in
Lord only knows where does he ever gets his start
Is it from the miles that he's been
Or the snares he tangles in
Or the lonely ways of walkin' in his heart
His smile smirked and smeared
On his face and you can hear
His actions askin' him
Why being lonely ain't so hard
Waking up in late morning light
Lookin' for any vice in reach
He learns his wicked ways
From those who're supposed to teach
He's off the wagon again
He's pissed his last cowboy killers broken
Lord only knows how he's standing on the strength of his own feet
Is it from the miles that he's been
Or the snares he tangles in
Or the lonely ways of walkin' in his heart
His smile smirked and smeared
On his face and you can hear
His actions askin' him
Why being lonely ain't so hard
There's a quiet time when all the wine
Is gone along with his sobriety
He's sleeping this one off, 'til tomorrow then it's on
Again 'til he wakes up from this dream
Denim Dan was a cowboy man
And he drank the part
Look here now he can't stand
'Cause being lonely ain't so hard
