Lyrics

THIS OLD COWBOY
I've been traveling down a dusty road
for so long that I don't have a home
playing poker just to pass the time
one-eyed-jacks, oh their running wild
pre-chorus
you've got a card or two that's up your sleeve
take my place I think I'd better leave
Chorus
cause I've been cheated and I've been lied to
by those better than you
if I was innocent I would cry
there ain't no tear-drops in my eyes
but you ain't riding this old cowboy tonight
high-ho-silver goodbye

I sure like the way that you move
all that long dark hair
you sure make those dancing boots
glide right through the air
pre-chorus
but you don't wear your heart upon your sleeve
no thank you ma'am I better leave
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
I see that ring upon your finger
I know that look that's in your eyes
I'm like a wolf who smells danger
and I don't feel like biting tonight
(lead)
(repeat chorus)
(outro)
let's getty-up and go
