Well, I'm writing you this letter and it's a long time overdue You're thinkin' "Just mind your own business" I wouldn't blame you if you do You know our range is gettin' smaller Hear you're all busted up inside But it ain't the Broncos that'll kill you It's just that damned old cowboy pride Cowboy pride can always get a man through but cowboy pride will make a fool of you Good women are hard to find I'm talkin' about the faithful kind I hear you're running with that waitress and she's under age and wild You know your wife's the best there is, fella Would you move in with that child? She stuck with you through the hard times
Think of all the nights she cried Will she be another victim of that same old cowboy pride
Guess it's time to close my letter It's just somethin' that I had to do You know I made the same mistake once before she fell in love with you So go home to your wife and family It's time to put the past aside So you don't end up like me now Nothin' left but cowboy pride Cowboy pride can always get a man through
