Song Description

A lonely cowboy down on his luck tries his hand at the rodeo.

Lyrics

COWBOY BLUES

I'm sittin on this barstool feelin low
A distant voice says its time to go.
My woman left me for another man
Pay got behind the bank took my land


But I still got my cards to play solitare
Theres a sign on my back sayin stranger beware
Got nothing to my name but a bottle of booze
A carton of reds and a case of the cowboy blues


Headed for big sky in the back of a truck
Time to stand tall time to cowboy up
Cause this old town's got me feeling so low
finally up and went to join the rodeo.

Maybe Ill make it as a bull fighten clown
This time when they laugh Ill take a bow
Been feelin a fool not knowing my part
The things I loved really broke my heart

Solo-

But I've still got my cards to play solitare
Theres a sign on my back sayin stranger beware.
Got nothing to my name but a bottle of booze
A carton of reds and a case of the cowboy blues.


All that I have including my pride, comes down to this moment
comes down to this ride. Sometimes you get
what they give you, you don't get to choose,
but sometimes a cowboy gets what a cowboys due.

No more cowboy blues?..
No more cowboy blues?.
