Cowpoke
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(howl) I'm lonesome but happy rich but I'm broke
And the good Lord knows the reason I'm just a cowpoke
From Cheyenne to Douglas all the ranges I know
I drift with the wind no one cares where I go
Well I ain't got a dime in these old worn out jeans
So I'll quit eatin' steak and back to beans
I'll pick up a ten spot and press God I know
Well I'm ridin' the broncs in the big rodeo (howl)
Been down in the prairie my pony and I
Hear the wail of the coyote hear his cry (howl)
