歌詞
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
In the morning, he returns
But he doesn't ever say much
I don't want to ride alone
Down this dark and lonesome road
[Chorus]
'Cause even cowboys can get lonely
From time to time
'Cause even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Share the silence with the fire
Roll the rest of my tobacco
Telling stories to myself
But I know them all too well
[Verse 4]
When the desert night is cold
I just want someone to hold me close
I don't want to die alone
Who's going to love me when I'm gone?
[Chorus]
'Cause even cowboys can get lonely
From time to time
Even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes
[Chorus]
Yes, but 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
[Verse 5]
Look into my naked eye
Reflect out into the horizon
Yet another day goes by
And there is not a soul in sight
[Verse 6]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause even cowboys can get lonely
From time to time
'Cause even cowboys can get lonesome sometimes
[Chorus]
Yes, but 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
[Outro]
Oh, just like me
Yes, even me
Oh, just like me
Even me
