Darrell Scott - Candle For A Cowboy lyrics

There was no denying the fire in his eyes It was more than pueblo whiskey It was more than a lonely night Two hundred miles from home perfectly alone He had no apologies in his pocket It was right there on his hand A golden wedding band When hearts began to pound he stood his ground She lights a candle for a cowboy And wonders why she's so alone He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard He was the only man who ever said, no She said, "Is there nothing I can do to please you?" He said, "Girl, you make love sound so easy And it's hard to turn away but it's harder to stay And either way I go, oh, it's gonna be a long ride home" She lights a candle for a cowboy And wonders why shes so alone He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard He was the only man who ever said, no, no, no And as he walked out the door She loved him all the more She lights a candle for a cowboy And wonders why she's still alone (Still alone) He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard He was the only man who ever said Oh, he was the only man who ever said, no
