That's What Cowboys Do

(album: FUN - 2020)

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 morning skies
I saw that I was falling for those deep blue eyes
And I couldn't help but wonder
Could this woman be the one?
Then it came to the leaving part
When sleeping 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 leaving town, chasing sunsets down
It ain't nothing new
Yeah, they're just passing 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 getting even started seeming mighty thin
So I gave the nod and everybody held on tight
Went dancing with the devil on a Friday night
Whenever you're in Texas
The cowboy's gonna always win
Then it came to the leaving part
Well, leaving 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 leaving town, chasing sunsets down
It ain't nothing new
Yeah, they're just passing through
That's what cowboys do

They're always leaving town, chasing sunsets down
Saying adios to you
Yeah we're just passing through
That's what cowboys do
