The Only One I Know (Cowboy Life)

(앨범: Gotta Be Me - 2016)

Another day break wakes me up to a hotel lobby coffee cup
That dirty old white pickup truck with the trailer hooked up by the Denny's, she's mine
Last night's bugs on the windshield, fast food trash on the dash meal
Speeding ticket and a doctor bill from a gash I got from a short go in Casper
Summer of last year, maybe next year

And a ride, and a fall, one day I might win 'em all
Just some broken hearts and broken bones, and a hell of a whole lot of being alone
But a right, and a wrong, where I hang my hat is home
This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know

Cell phone was breaking up, the night she called to say she'd had enough
Of my little white lies and little white lines and wanting somebody who could never be with her
I look back on every fork in the road that I took to chase that buckle of gold
And wonder if what I held for what I hold is worth trading away
Hell I don't know, all I know

Is a ride, and a fall, one day I might win 'em all
Just some broken hearts and broken bones, and a hell of a whole lot of being alone
But a right, and a wrong, where I hang my hat is home
This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know

Yeah it'll kill me, before it ever lets me go
It'll kill me, but it's the only life I know
And I'd rather die than be caught crying
So I'm just smiling, wear my hat down low
But wear my hat down low

And a ride, and a fall, one day I might win 'em all
Just some broken hearts and broken bones, and a hell of a whole lot of being alone
But a right, and a wrong, where I hang my hat is home
This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know
Yeah this cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know
