Last night you told her

You could never hold her

'Cause a cowboy's just got to be free

Her heart was breaking

Yours was aching

But you saddled up to follow your dreams

Coffee on your campfire

Wind through the barbed wire

You huddle close to the flames

Though she's far behind you

The night wind reminds you

It just keeps on whispering her name

You can make a run for the border

Try to hide at the hole in the wall

Don't you know your arms are aching to hold

Her

And cowboy even though your riding tall

You're riding for a fall

Midnight the moon's up

Hands around your tin cup

Frost settles in on the sage

Nights getting colder

Oh man you're getting older

Tonight you're feeling your age

Why don't you turn back

Just saddle up and back track

You know you'll never find a love quite like hers

Tell me

On a cold lonesome evening

What the hell good's your freedom

Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs

You can make a run for the border

Try to hide at the hole in the wall

Don't ya know your arms are aching to hold

Her

And cowboy even though your riding tall

You're riding for a fall

Cowboy you're riding for a fall
