A Cowboys Hard Times lyrics
A COWBOY S HARD TIMES
Well, I once was a cowboy, and I used to run wild.
And I rodeoed, wrangled, and rambled in style.
But I m too old for horses, too old for the show,
And I m too young for Heaven; now where shall I go?
Where shall I go? Where shall I go?
I m too young for Heaven; now where shall I go?
I had me a true love, and I made her my wife,
And I swear that I loved her most all of my life,
But the cold of the winter and the wind laid her low,
And she s gone on before me, now where shall I go?
Where shall I go? Where shall I go?
She s gone on before me; now where shall I go?
Well, I never was a drunkard, but this I can say:
The taste of the whiskey gets better each day.
The bartender scowls, "Mack, you re drinking too slow,
And we close in ten minutes." Now where shall I go?
Where shall I go? Where shall I go?
They close in ten minutes; now where shall I go?
So it s out on the street with the stars burning bright,
With nothing but memories to share with the night.
Oh, I once was a cowboy, and I used to run wild.
And I rodeoed, wrangled, and rambled in style.
Now I m too old for horses, too old for the show,
And I m too young for Heaven; now where shall I go?
