Lonely Cowboy

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-hmm) 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
