LYRICS

I am just a lonesome cowboy

And I'm travelling all alone

I ain't even got a nickel

To call my baby on the phone

Just beyond the mountain lies a city

And I hear it calling me

Saddle up and ride, you lonesome cowboy

Here is where you'll find your destiny

In my dreams the lights shine bright and pretty

Near to me and yet, so far

Will I always be a lonesome cowboy?

Am I only reaching for a star?

Ride. Ride, ride, cowboy, cowboy

Sing, sing, sing, cowboy, cowboy

Will I ever leave this lonesome valley?

Really see the lights that shine?

Gotta find what lies beyond the mountain

Gotta rope and tie that dream of mine

I am just a lonesome cowboy

And I'm travelling all alone

If you don't call me, baby

Then I'm never coming home
