Lyrics
Cowboy
Cowboy, you've been all alone
For so long.
You're out on the range
On your own.
You're living in the saddle
And sleeping in the cold,
Who's going to keep you company
When you're old?
You once were, woah,
A fun-lovin' kid,
A smile and a joke
Were all you'd ever known.
Now you spend your time
On the trail all alone
Who's going to pay attention
When you're old?
Chorus
You ride the hills
For weeks at a time,
With your horse
For company.
But, you're always moving
And traveling on,
Come back, come back home.
Insstrumental break
Cowboy, don't fret on the
Things you've done wrong.
We all make mistakes
When we're young.
Come back to the country
And the ones you
Know and love.
You just can't live your life away
On the run.
Chorus
You ride the hills
For weeks at a time,
With your horse
For company.
But, you're always moving
And traveling on,
Won't you come back,
Please come back
Home.
Come back home.
