GARY ALLAN
"Cowboy Blues"
(Mike Geiger / Mike Huffman / George McCorkle)

Well there's a lonesome feeling that comes over me
When I hear that highway moan
I know it's where the good Lord meant for me to be
A dreaming drifter far from home
I roam from town to town out on the interstate
I'm always only passing through
I need my woman's loving she's so far away
I'm singing 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 blowing in the wind
I've got to catch another stage

[Chorus 2x:]
I strap on my guitar just like a.45
I pray each night my aim is true
I'm shooting for the heart a looking in your eyes
Singin' the cowboy blues
Sometimes I get to thinking about settling down
Fade off into a memory
Every night that I step out to face the crowd
I know this is the life for me
