Cowboys Walk Alone Lyrics

Cowboys walk alone

As alone as the setting sun

When their work is done

Following the wind that's blown

They're meant to be alone

I used to want to be

A cowboy saddled on a horse

With the wind setting my course

Just like in an old movie

Wild, dangerous and free

Cowboys have a way

Of weighing life with just their hands

It's what a cowboy understands

Just like he knows yesterday

Wasn't ever meant to stay

I used to want to sing

With the stars and the moon

Howling out a lonely tune

While the fire's crackling

And nobody's listening

Cowboys always feel

Danger vibrating the air

A cowboy doesn't care

Dying young has its appeal

Living hard from meal to meal

I don't want to be

A cowboy anymore

Like I did before

Somewhere out on the prairie

Living solitarily

Cowboys walk alone

As alone as the setting sun

When their work is done
