Gary Allan
"Cowboy Blues"

Well there's a lonesome feeling that comes over me
when i hear that highway moan
I know it's where the good Lord meant for me to be
a dreaming drifter far from home

I roam from town to town out on the interstate
I"m always only passing through
I need my women's lovin she's so far away
I'm singin the cowboy blues

stranger don't you know I'd like to be your friend
if I had the time to stay
but I"m a tumbleweed a blowin in the wind
I've got to catch another stage

I strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
I'm shootin for the heart a lookin in your eyes
I'm singin the cowboy blues

sometimes I get to thinkin bout settling down
fade off into a memory
but every night I step out to face that crowd
I know this is the life for me

I strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
I"m shootin for the heart a lookin in your eyes
I'm singin the cowboy blues
singin the cowboy blues
