Well we rode into town like a couple of fools High on the mezcal, bent low on my mule I’s just tryna find some place where a man might get some rest Wash the tears from my eyes and the blood from my vest
One lonesome saddle One long and lonesome ride One lonely cowboy Pinin’ a woman unkind
Walked into the saloon on my feet that felt like lead Cold steel hammer poundin’ into the back of my head I raise up my glass to the quick and to the dead Singin’ hey heavy and a bottle of red
One lonesome saddle One long and lonesome ride One lonely cowboy Pinin’ a woman unkind
As the glass it left my lips, I felt her hand upon me Her smile it was so warm but her eyes were so cold She says to me now, “won’t you please walk beside me” I just shut my mouth and I did as I was told
One lonesome saddle One long and lonesome ride One lonely cowboy Pinin’ a woman, cold-hearted woman Pinin’ a woman unkind
