Joe Purdy - Cowboy Song lyrics

Pick me up softly, I don't know the shape that I'm in I dropped through the windows and down through the buildings And up to the front door again There was a gunfight out in the moonlight To settle the matters at hand So pick me up stranger, pick me up softly I don't know the shape that I'm in Chorus: And I did my best with my time in the West And I tried not to leave anyone in distress And I have stood tall yeah and I never lied That's a lie But I surely tried To do everything I could do right Pick me up softly, I don't know how much I've been hurt One bullet missed me, the other one kissed me And left me to die in the dirt I k**ed every last man that shot down my Suzanne It's over whatever it's worth So pick me up stranger, pick me up softly I don't know how much I've been hurt Repeat chorus Pick me up softly, I don't know long I have left Oh I am not hurtin', but d**h is a-certain There's a bullet that lays in my chest I'm flooded with memories and people and sweet dreams And words to my favourite songs And I'll buy the last round if you lay my head down And sing one for me when I'm gone Repeat chorus
