Riding for a Fall

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 and followed your dream [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] You can make a run for the border, try to hide up the hole in the wall But don't you know your arms are aching to hold her And cowboy even though you're riding tall You're riding for a fall [Verse 3] Midnight, the moon's up, hands around your tin cup The frost settles in on the sage The night's getting colder, well man you're getting older Tonight you're feeling your age [Verse 4] But why don't you turn back, just saddle up and backtrack You know you'll never find a love quite like hers, you 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 [Chorus] You can make a run for the border, try to hide up the hole in the wall But don't you know your arms are aching to hold her And cowboy even though you're riding tall You're riding for a fall Cowboy you're riding for a fall
