Lyrics: JJ Julius Son
Music: JJ Julius Son
Say I can use a better friend
Than the one I've got, my shadow
Even when the sun goes down
He will leave me by myself
And in the morning, he returns
But he doesn't ever say much
Say I don't wanna ride alone
Down this dark and lonesome road
See even cowboys can get lonely from time to time
See even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes
Yes, but I, I know one thing, I've come much too far
Yeah, to let you go now, please, don't let me go
Love, don't let me go
Share the silence with the fire
Roll the rest of my tobacco
Telling stories to myself
But I know them all too well
'Cause when the desert night is cold
I just want someone to hold me close
Say I don't wanna die alone
Who's gonna love me when I'm gone?
See even cowboys can get lonely from time to time
Even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes
Yes, but I, I know one thing, I've come much too far
Oh, to let you go now, please, don't let me go
Lord, don't let me go
Look into my naked eye
Reflect out into the horizon
Ooh, yet another day goes by
And there's not a soul in sight
As I ride into the dark
As I ride into the sunset
I guess it's time to say goodbye
To the rider of the night
See even cowboys can get lonely from time to time
See even cowboys can get lonesome sometimes
Yes, but I, I know one thing, I know one thing, I've come much too far
Oh, to let you go now, please, don't let me go
Lord, don't let me go
See even cowboys
Do get lonely
Oh, just like me
Yes, even me
Well, just like me
Even me
