Lyrics
Mama's always telling me
Girl you'll spend eternity
Lookin' for that cowboy of your dreams
Well I fancy lookin' so I don't mind
Gonna take my own sweet time
Chasin' down my dream in boot-cut jeans
He's... Tall, dark, and lonesome
And a little short on love
With eyes that shine like diamonds
And a smile from heaven above
Somewhere under the silver moon he's singing mournfully
Tall dark and lonesome for someone like me
I'm shakin' loose my lariat,
I'll get my Bronco Billy yet
Any dusty drifter just won't do
Big brown eyes and shoulders square
Lizard boots and long black hair
I know someday he'll come riding through
And he'll be... Tall, dark, and lonesome
And a little short on love
With eyes that shine like diamonds
And a smile from heaven above
Somewhere under the silver moon he's singing mournfully
Tall dark and lonesome for someone like me
Somewhere under the silver moon he's singing mournfully
Tall dark and lonesome for someone like me
Tall dark and lonesome for someone like me
