The cowboy's lady is cryin' tonight cause the cowboy is out on the range Runnin' and ramblin' and chasin' some stray and good cowboys don't ever change I tried to hold him in the home corral but the grasses were greener outside So I'm gonna sit here in front of this door And I've loaded up my cowboy's fourty-four When the smoke clears there'll be a new brand on his eyes This is my cowboy's last ride Oh I hate to see him go but I won't be stayin' home cryin' I hate to watch him die but this is my cowboy's last ride
Cowboy remembers the old trails we rode and he's back in the saddle tonight This time I'm lettin' the homefires burn out and I'm leavin' when I blow out his light Cause I still remember good waterin' holes and the places that are open and wide And I have decied he won't put me down a filly should be free for horsin' around And I will no longer be hobbled and tied this is my cowboy's last ride Oh I hate to see him go... This is my cowboy's last ride
