Michael Martin Murphey Lone Cowboy lyrics

I'm on a rundown
I'm out running sundown
I'm thinking I'm on the right track
I'm writing a song
as I'm riding along
keeping the sun at my back

Big horse trailer and truck
I can make my own luck
As I ride through the sand and the sage
Cause it gives me a rush
To be busting the brush
Acting about half my age

Lone Cowboy
I'm doing my best
Lone Cowboy
I go everywhere west
Lone Cowboy
With my own campfire song
Lone Cowboy
Giddy-up get along

I've owned some good ponies
Blacks, bays, and blue roans
Greys, palominos, and paints

Sung good songs and bad ones
Some up songs and sad ones
Songs about sinners and saints

I'm still riding like wildfire
To find the next campfire
As memories burn and turn to coal
And at daylight I'm crying
to live forever or die trying
But I'll never get old in my soul

Lone Cowboy
Doing my best
Lone Cowboy
Hey I go everywhere west
Lone Cowboy
Singing my ol' campfire song
Lone Cowboy
Giddy-up get along

Lone Cowboy
Lone Cowboy
Lone Cowboy
