Candle For A Cowboy by Tim McGraw Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was no denying the fire in his eyes
It was more than pueblo whiskey
It was more than a lonely night
Two hundred miles from home, perfectly alone

[Verse 2]
He had no apologies in his pocket
It was right there on his hand
A golden wedding band
When hearts began to pound, oh, but he stood his ground

[Chorus]
She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why she's so alone
He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said, no

[Verse 3]
She said, "Is there nothing I can do to please you?"
And he said, "You make lovin' sound so easy
And it's hard to turn away and even harder to stay
And either way I go, oh, it's gonna be a long ride home"
[Chorus]
She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why shes so alone
He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said, no, no, no, no

[Bridge]
And as he walked out the door
She loved him all the more

[Chorus]
She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why she's still alone
He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said
He was the only man who ever said, no
