Lyric Cowboy Blues

(Mike Geiger/Michael Huffman/George McCorkle)

Well there s a lonesome feelin that comes over me
When I hear that highway moan
I know it s where the good Lord meant for me to be
A dreamin drifter far from home

I roam from town to town out on the interstate
I m always only passin through
I need my woman s lovin she s so far away
I m singin the cowboy blues

Stranger don t you know I d like to be your friend
If I had the time to stay
But I m a tumbleweed a blowin in the wind
I ve got to catch another stage

I strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
I m shootin for the heart a lookin in your eyes
Singin the cowboy blues

Sometimes I get to thinkin bout settlin down
Fade off into a memory
Every night that I step out to face the crowd
I know this is the life for me

I strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
I m shootin for the heart a lookin in your eyes
I m singin the cowboy blues
Singin the cowboy blues
Singin the cowboy blues
