I am just a lonesome cowboy and I'm traveling all alone
I ain't even got a nickel to call my baby on the phone

Just beyond the mountain lies a city and I hear it calling me
Saddle up and ride you lonesome cowboy
Here is where you'll find your destiny
In my dreams the lights shine bright and pretty near to me and yet so far
Will I always be a lonesome cowboy am I only reaching for a star

Ride. ride, ride, ride along cowboy
Sing, sing, sing, sing you song cowboy

Will I ever leave this lonesome valley really see the lights that shine
Gotta find what lies beyond the mountain gotta rope and tie that dream of mine

I am just a lonesome cowboy and I'm traveling all alone
If you don't call me baby then I'm never coming home
Then I’m never coming home
