Cowboy Blues by Gary Allan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well there's a lonesome feeling that comes over me
When I hear that highway moan
I know it's where the good Lord meant for me to be
A dreaming drifter far from home
[Verse 2]
I roam from town to town out on the interstate
I'm always only passing through
I need my woman's love and she's so far away
I'm singing the cowboy blues
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 blowing in the wind
I've got to catch another stage
[Chorus]
I strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
I'm shooting for the heart a looking in your eyes
Singin' the cowboy blues
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sometimes I get to thinking about settling down
Fade off into a memory
Every night that I step out to face the crowd
I know this is the life for me
[Chorus]
I strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
I'm shooting for the heart a looking in your eyes
Singin' the cowboy blues
Well there's a lonesome feeling that comes over me
When I hear that highway moan
I know it's where the good Lord meant for me to be
A dreaming drifter far from home
[Verse 2]
I roam from town to town out on the interstate
I'm always only passing through
I need my woman's love and she's so far away
I'm singing the cowboy blues
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 blowing in the wind
I've got to catch another stage
[Chorus]
I strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
I'm shooting for the heart a looking in your eyes
Singin' the cowboy blues
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sometimes I get to thinking about settling down
Fade off into a memory
Every night that I step out to face the crowd
I know this is the life for me
[Chorus]
I strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
I'm shooting for the heart a looking in your eyes
Singin' the cowboy blues
