(mike geiger/michael huffman/george mccorkle) Well there's a lonesome feelin' that comes over me When i hear that highway moan I know it's where the good lord meant for me to be A dreamin' drifter far from home I roam from town to town out on the interstate I'm always only pa**in' through I need my woman's lovin' she's so far away I'm singin' the cowboy blues Stranger don't you know i'd like to be your friend If i had the time to stay But i'm a tumbleweed a blowin' in the wind I've got to catch another stage I strap on my guitar just like a .45 I pray each night my aim is true I'm shootin' for the heart a lookin' in your eyes Singin' the cowboy blues Sometimes i get to thinkin' 'bout settlin' down Fade off into a memory Every night that i step out to face the crowd I know this is the life for me I strap on my guitar just like a .45 I pray each night my aim is true I'm shootin' for the heart a lookin' in your eyes I'm singin' the cowboy blues Singin' the cowboy blues Singin' the cowboy blues
