The Cowboy Rides Away (The Very Best Of George Strait, 1981-87)
I knew the stakes were high right from the start When she dealt the cards I dealt my heart Now I just found a game that I can't play And this is where the cowboy rides away
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun Setting on the things I wish I'd done It's time to say good bye to yesterday And this is where the cowboy rides away
We've been in and out of love and in between And now we play the final showdown scene And as the credits role a sad song starts to play And this is where the cowboy rides away
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun Setting on the things I wish I'd done Oh the last good bye's the hardest one to say And this is where the cowboy rides away Oh the last good bye's the hardest one to say And this is where the cowboy rides away.
