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
