VELVET COWBOY Lyrics

He strolled right in, asked me to dance

Didn't take long, just a lost romance

Bang, bang

He moves like smoke through a barroom crowd

The kinda man who's quiet, but loud

Bang, bang

Eyes'll catch ya, a voice so low

You'll feel the pull, but he won't let ya know

He's rugged and smooth, but cold as stone

A restless heart ya can't call home

Oh, he's a mystery, a fleeting flame

Leaves ya wonderin' if he even knows yer name

Velvet cowboy, slippin' away

Smooth as whiskey, gon' today

Heart stealer, love dealer, what can I say

Ridin' through the dark like ya were born to fade

Ya shot me down, and I hit the floor

A bullet wrapped in a grin, left me sore

Pulled me in, then ya let me fall

Now I'm left with nothin' at all

Bang, bang—yer love's a loaded gun

But Lord have mercy, it sure was fun

Left me spinnin', caught in yer spell

A story I'll relive, but won't never tell

Velvet cowboy, slippin' away

Smooth as whiskey, gon' today

Heart stealer, love dealer, what can I say

Ridin' through the dark like ya were born to fade

Was it all a game, or did ya feel it too

A restless man, always passin' through

A fleeting shadow, a love gone wrong

Yer the kinda ache that lingers long

Velvet cowboy, slippin' away

Smooth as whiskey, burnin' today

Heart stealer, love dealer, lost in the game

Ridin' through the dark like ya were born to fade

Bang, bang, I hit the ground

Gone like smoke, fadin' into the sky

The cowboy who left without a goodbye
