She told me she was lonely And it would be all right If happy ever after only meant one night So we saddled up in satin and rode off for the morning sun Oh, but somewhere ‘tween the neon and the mornin’ skies I saw that I was fallin’ for those deep blue eyes And I couldn’t help but wonder Could this woman be the one? Then it came to the leavin’ part When sleepin’ beauty nearly had my heart
But a cowboy’s always got somewhere to go Another song to sing, another day to save another rodeo They’re always leavin’ town, chasin’ sunsets down It ain’t nothin’ new Yeah, they’re just passin’ through That’s what cowboys do
I knew that I was in for one hell of a ride As I drew a bull so cruel they call him Satan’s Pride And the odds of gettin’ even started seemin’ mighty thin So I gave the nod and everybody held on tight Went dancin’ with the devil on a Friday night Whenever you’re in Texas The cowboy’s gonna always win Then it came to the leavin’ part Well, leavin’ Texas always breaks my heart
But a cowboy’s always got somewhere to go Another song to sing, another day to save another rodeo They’re always leavin’ town, chasin’ sunsets down It ain’t nothin’ new Yeah, they’re just passin’ through That’s what cowboys do
They’re always leavin’ town, chasin’ sunsets down Sayin’ adios to you Yeah we’re just passin’ through That’s what cowboys do
