I'm a poor lonesome cowboy I'm a long long way from home And this poor lonesome cowboy Has got a long long way to roam Over mountains over prairies From dawn till day is done My horse and me keep riding Into the setting sun
Lonesome cowboy, lonesome cowboy, you're a long long way from home Lonesome cowboy, lonesome cowboy, you've a long long way to roam
There are guys who just figure Have a problem with a gun And a finger on a trigger Can be dangerous, hurt someone But problems solve much better By keeping calm and true My horse and me keep riding I ain't nobody's fool
Lonesome cowboy, lonesome cowboy, you're a long long way from home Lonesome cowboy, lonesome cowboy, you've a long long way to roam
I'm a poor lonesome cowboy But it doesn't bother me 'Cause this poor lonesome cowboy Prefers a horse for company Got nothing against women But I wave them all goodbye My horse and me keep riding We don't like being tied
Lonesome cowboy, lonesome cowboy, you're a long long way from home Lonesome cowboy, lonesome cowboy, you've a long long way to roam To roam
