Lyrics to Can't Be A Cowboy Forever :
now he dont expect her to stay true to him
and she never says that she will

but hes got a first love that just might kill him
and she knows hes hooked on the thrill


so she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more
for the fever that drives him to just run its course
she talks to that picture they took their last night

together
says you cant be a cowboy forever
no you cant be a cowboy forever


sometimes he calls her he swears that the ground hurts
more than it did yesterday

she knows his voice and he still sounds determined to do
whatever it takes


so she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more
for the fever that drives him to just run its course
the whiskey he drinks said some things last spring

that upset her
lord he cant be a cowboy forever
no you cant be a cowboy forever


then one night he shows up and says whats for dinner
with that @@#!y grin on his face the way that she smiled

and the way that she held him, told him he wasnt too late
she closed her eyes and he put that ring on her finger
said you cant be a cowboy forever

no you cant be a cowboy forever
no you cant be a cowboy forever
