Damn Cowgirl

(album: Jesus And Jesse James - 2023)

Damn cowgirl
Wish that I knew then what I know now, girl
Would've seen the signs if I just looked around, girl
Instead of standing in your dust as you leave town, girl
'Cause this whiskey sure don't taste the same when you're not with me
Them sad old songs, they really start to hit me
But baby, don't feel guilty

'Cause fences weren't built for wild and free
Your gypsy heart wasn't built for missing me
And who am I to stand there in your way
I know all too well how the leaving goes
Done it myself many times ago
Now I know just how they felt when I rode away
Yeah, you left this cowboy fool with nothing to say
But, damn cowgirl

What could I have done to make you stick it out, girl
Maybe I should've saddled up too when you rode out, girl

'Cause fences weren't built for wild and free
Your gypsy heart wasn't built for missing me
And who am I to stand there in your way
I know all too well how the leaving goes
Done it myself many times ago
Now I know just how they felt when I rode away
Yeah, you left this cowboy fool with nothing to say
But, damn cowgirl

You were meant for more and I know that now
Might've been a shame for me to tie you down
Guess the best thing I can do is go on missing you

'Cause fences weren't built for wild and free
Your gypsy heart wasn't built for missing me
Who am I to stand there in your way
I know all too well how the leaving goes
Done it myself many times ago
Now I know just how they felt when I rode away
Yeah, you left this cowboy fool with nothing to say
But, damn cowgirl
