I'm just a lonesome ramblin' cowboy
travelling around to rodeos

what tomorrow brings only God knows
where I lay my head is my home


no father's love or mother's kisses
no one to call my very own
I'll live and die here in this saddle

I'm just another lonely cowboy

I once knew love and it was for the taking

but I was blind I could not see
I let it slip right through my fingers
now this cowboy's life is the only one for me


when I'm dead and gone there will be no sorrow
there will be no one to cry for me

just spread my ashes out on the prairie
it's good enough for a cowboy like me


Repeat 1st verse
