The Last Cowboy Song


Well I’ve been away awhile
And it’s windy as can be
When I look out on the fields, I know
This life aint’ living free

When I used to pack up quickly
And tell no one goodbye
My hat and boots were pals I had
To keep me warm at night

I don’t wanna be a fucking cowboy
Don’t want a home out on the range
I swear the open road
Just goes and goes
With nowhere you can stay

Now the cattle every morning
They don’t need me around
They would eat and wander just the same
If I were somewhere else

I don’t wanna be a fucking cowboy
Don’t want a home out on the range
I swear the open road
Just goes and goes
With nowhere you can stay

Now if I were the praying kind
I’d be begging for a train
To scoop me up while I was asleep
And take me home again

I don’t wanna be a fucking cowboy
Don’t want a home out on the range
I swear the open road
Just goes and goes
With nowhere you can stay

I don’t wanna be a fucking cowboy
Don’t wanna sleep out on the hay
You know that open road
Is a heavy load
If you’ve nowhere to stay
