Killed The Cowboy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Everybody wanna know, where did all the cowboys go? Musta been the whiskey, maybe it was all the Marlboros But it ain't none of that that laid 'em all low Yeah, believe me, I know [Chorus] It was that midnight stare Look in her eyes like a knife to the heart And it was that poison kiss Cherry red lips, oh my God Leanin' up against the bar and I know It wasn't the smoke It wasn't the drink And I've got the proof If you wanna know what killed the cowboy A girl like you [Verse 2] Mm, the way she does, it wasn't just another rodeo Lipstick kiss on the mirror and that was all she wrote Yeah, it's supposed to be me ridin' away But I'm dyin' in the bed that she made [Chorus] It was that midnight stare Look in her eyes like a knife to the heart It was that poison kiss Cherry red lips, oh my God Leanin' up against the bar and I know It wasn't the smoke It wasn't the drink And I've got the proof If you wanna know what killed the cowboy Ooh (A girl like you) [Bridge] Well, she's off in the sunset, she's out on the run Bet she's halfway to Jackson by now And I'm heartbroke to hell and I'm drownin' the well While I'm tellin' the bartender how [Chorus] It was that midnight stare Look in her eyes like a knife to the heart And it was that poison kiss Cherry red lips, oh my God Leanin' up against the bar and I know It wasn't the smoke It wasn't the drink And I've got the proof If you wanna know what killed the cowboy A girl like you
