The Only One I Know (Cowboy Life)

Another Jake brake wakes me up To a hotel lobby coffee cup That dirty old white pickup truck with the trailer hooked up by the Denny's, she's mine Last night's bugs on the windshield Fast food trash on the dash meal Speeding ticket and a doctor bill From a gash I got, from a short go in Casper Summer of last year, maybe next year And I ride, and I fall, one day I might win 'em all Just some broken hearts and broken bones And a hell of a whole lot of being alone But I ride, and I roam, where I hang my hat is home This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know Cell phone was breakin' up, The night she called to say she'd had enough Of my little white lies and little white lines And wanting somebody who could never be with her I look back on every fork in the road that I took to chase that buckle of gold And wonder if what I held for what I hold is worth trading away Hell I don't know, all I know And I ride, and I fall, one day I might win 'em all Just some broken hearts and broken bones And a hell of a whole lot of being alone But I ride, and I roam, where I hang my hat is home This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know Yeah it'll kill me, before it ever lets me go It'll kill me, but it's the only life I know And I'd rather die than be caught crying So I'm just smiling, wear my hat down low But wear my hat down low And I ride, and I fall, one day I might win 'em all Just some broken hearts and broken bones And a hell of a whole lot of being alone But I ride, and I roam, where I hang my hat is home This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know Yeah this cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know
