That sunrise
Sits on that horizon
It's like nothing
I've ever seen before
A beacon of light
That leaves me empty
And pulls me
Halfway out that door
I saddle up my horse
Before you wake up
So my memories
Won't hear you cry
Maybe the wind
Will lead me back to you
But don't hold
Your breath this time
Cause I'm just a cowboy
I was born to ride away
I'm just a cowboy
And cowboys never stay
So don't try to follow
Or chase me
Cause you'll never catch me
Just watch me go
I'm just a cowboy
And cowboys are meant to roam
That sunset's calling
Calling out my name
Pulling me
To another place
Another town
I can't remember
Down another lost highway
Where familiar faces
All stare back at me
These dusty trails
All look the same
Shaking hands
With my old friends
But nobody knows my name
Cause I'm just a cowboy
I was born to ride away
I'm just a cowboy
And cowboys never stay
So don't try to follow
Or chase me
Cause you'll never catch me
Just watch me go
I'm just a cowboy
And cowboys are meant to roam
So ride
So ride
So ride cowboy ride
I'm just a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm just a cowboy
And cowboys say goodbye
So just love me
Then hate me
But don't follow
Or chase me
Just watch me go
Cause I'm just a cowboy
And cowboys are meant to roam
You won't ever catch me
Or tame me
It's o.k.
If you blame me
But just let me go
Cause I'm just a cowboy
And cowboy's are meant to roam
I'm a cowboy
And I was meant to roam
That sunset
Sits on that horizon
That lonesome wind
Burns my face
Pulling me
Just like a tumble weed
Across the desert plains
