Cowboy Rides Away
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.
I knew the stakes were high right from the start
When she dealt the cards I bet my heart
Now I just found a game that I can't play and this is where the cowboy rides away
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun setting on the things I wish I'd done
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday and this is where the cowboy rides away
[ guitar ]
We've been in and out of love and in between
And now we've played the final showdown scene
As the credits roll the sad song starts to play this is where the cowboy rides away
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun setting on the things I wish I'd done
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say this is where the cowboy rides away
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say this is where the cowboy rides away
