Ken Helser - Cowboy Song lyrics

Out on the range they call me cowboy I ride high in the saddle like a man I could drink I could fight, I could stay out all night Till trouble finally lent the boy a hand I woke up all hung over in a jail house I cried, Lord this is more than I can stand My last dime got through to Dunklin They had a bed I could bunk in I said, "Mickey, I'm in trouble Can you give this man a hand?" Chorus: He said you're broke, but not quite broken How you gonna hear the Lord when He has spoken? 'Cause being broke, but not quite broken.. You're gonna run away when the door flies open Just a proud, crazy old cowboy A ladies man, riding high in style I could dance 'em and romance 'em And then hang 'em out to dry Pretend I even loved some for a while Till I tied the knot with the one who had my baby I thought maybe this would tame the cowboy donw Till my mind flipped back to Dunklin And the only thing that sunk in Was the last thing Mickey told me When He loved me with his smile Chorus Now one day this proud, crazy cowboy He lost it all to women, d** and gin And no matter where I turned, I was always gettin' burned Til I remembered something Mickey called: "LOST-IN-SIN!" Picked up my bible, I started reading I saw something I had never seen before Scales fell from my eyes, I began to realize Gotta get back to Dunklin, 'cause I really need you Lord Now I'm broke, and I'm finally broken I cry every time my Lord has spoken Lord, take my heart and break it wide open 'Cause more than being broke... I wanna be broken (c)1991 Positive Power Pub./BMI
