This Ol’ Cowboy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I'm sittin' down in San Anton' Waiting on an eight o'clock train My woman left me here last night Things ain't been quite the same I gotta get back to Dallas And tie up a few loose ends I'm gonna work a week make a hundred dollars Aw and hit the road again [Chorus] So I don't want you to think That you're the first one To leave me out here on my own 'Cause this ain't gonna be the first time This ol' cowboy spent the night alone [Verse 2] Well honey I've been a fool, but a bigger fool I can't remember when I've been Just to open up my heart And let you walk right in But there's one thing in life That ain't hard for me to do That's as soon as I kiss the lips of another woman I'm gonna forget all about you [Chorus] So I don't want you to think That you're the first one To leave me out here on my own 'Cause this ain't gonna be the first time This ol' cowboy spent the night alone [Fiddle, Piano, Guitar, and Flute Solos] [Verse 3] But if you wrote all the woman's names down I know And let me pick one out I don't believe there'd be one in the whole bunch Aw I'd give a hoot about [Chorus] So I don't want you to think That you're the first one To leave this ol' boy out here on his own No it ain't gonna be the first time This ol' cowboy spent the night alone No it ain't gonna be the first time This ol' cowboy spent the night alone
