Ain't no cowboys in the city
A you will never get along
But that woman sure was pretty
And with a rope around my heart I went along
I gave up my old ways of living
Traded my jeans for coat and tie
And everything I could to please her
Now she says it's time to say goodbye
This ol' cowboy's going home
With a herd as big as Texas settling in my bones
But I'll be fine as soon as I get back to San Antoine
This ol' cowboy's going home
I guess I was a fool believing
That she could love someone like me
'Cause I had nothing to give her
Nothing but a love she didn't need
And with my back turned to that city
Slowly fadin' far behind
And all the miles I put between us
Lord, they ain't enough to get her off my mind
This ol' cowboy's going home
With a herd as big as Texas settling in my bones
But I'll be fine as soon as I get back to San Antoine
This ol' cowboy's going home
This ol' cowboy's going home
Packin' my bag
Going home
