(mike geiger/michael huffman/george mccorkle)

well there´s a lonesome feelin´ that comes over me
when i hear that highway moan
i know it´s where the good lord meant for me to be
a dreamin´ drifter far from home

i roam from town to town out on the interstate
i´m always only passin´ through
i need my woman´s lovin´ she´s so far away
i´m singin´ the cowboy blues

stranger don´t you know i´d like to be your friend
if i had the time to stay
but i´m a tumbleweed a blowin´ in the wind
i´ve got to catch another stage

i strap on my guitar just like a.45
i pray each night my aim is true
i´m shootin´ for the heart a lookin´ in your eyes
singin´ the cowboy blues

sometimes i get to thinkin´ ´bout settlin´ down
fade off into a memory
every night that i step out to face the crowd
i know this is the life for me

i strap on my guitar just like a.45
i pray each night my aim is true
i´m shootin´ for the heart a lookin´ in your eyes
i´m singin´ the cowboy blues
singin´ the cowboy blues
singin´ the cowboy blues
