I'm gonna ride off in the sunset Like a cowboy in an old-time western show I bit the dust I've had it I'm tired of riding in her rodeo Luck don't last forever Where she's concerned it lasts a whole lot less But I know how you're feeling 'Cause partner I once blazed that trail myself Now you're gonna to be the cowboy for a while You're gonna be the one to make her smile Lord knows I've been holding on But dang if she hadn't drug me the last mile
And I'm letter her go And you're gonna to be the cowboy for awhile You can check out all your motels And the backstreets where the cheaters go to hide You can hold her in the daytime Like I know that you've been holding her each night She's easy in the saddle And right now you're the one that's riding tall But as sure as God made cowboys When the right one comes along you're gonna fall Now you're gonna to be the cowboy for a while
