This Ol' Cowboy Songtext

von Marshall Tucker Band

Well, I'm sittin' down in San Antone, waitin' on an eight o'clock train.
My woman left me here last night, things ain't been quite the same.
I gotta get back to Dallas, and tie up a few loose ends.
I'm gonna work a week, make a hundred dollars, and hit the road again.

(Chorus)
So I don't want you to think that you're the first one
To leave me out here on my own,
'Cause this ain't gonna be the first time This Old Cowboy
Has spent the night alone.

Well, honey, I been a fool, but a bigger fool,
I can't remember when I've been,
Just to open up my heart and let you walk right in.
But there's one thing in life that ain't hadr for me to do.
That's as soon as I kiss the lips of another woman,
I'm gonna forget all about you.
(chorus)

(instrumental verses ad lib., and instrumental chorus)

Well, if you wrote all the women's names down I know,
And let me pick one out,
I don't believe there'd be one in the whole bunch,
I'd give a hoot about.
(Chorus)

No it ain't gonna be the first time This Old Cowboy
Spent the night alone.
