Cowboy Pride

(アルバム： Cowboy Songs - 1990)

Well, I'm writing you this letter
And it's a long time overdue
You're thinking "Just mind your own business"
I wouldn't blame you if you do
You know our range is getting smaller
Hear you're all busted up inside
But it ain't the Broncos that'll kill you
It's just that damned old cowboy pride

Cowboy pride can always get a man through
But cowboy pride will make a fool of you
Good women are hard to find
I'm talking about the faithful kind

I hear you're running with that waitress
And she's under age and wild
You know your wife's the best there is, fella
Would you move in with that child?
She stuck with you through the hard times
Think of all the nights she cried
Will she be another victim
Of that same old cowboy pride

Guess it's time to close my letter
It's just something that I had to do
You know I made the same mistake once
Before she fell in love with you
So go home to your wife and family
It's time to put the past aside
So you don't end up like me now
Nothing left but cowboy pride

Cowboy pride can always get a man through
But cowboy pride will make a fool of you
Good women are hard to find
I'm talking about the faithful kind

Don't end up like me now
With nothing left but cowboy pride
