Candle For A Cowboy

There was no denying the fire in his eyes
It was more than pueblo whiskey
It was more than a lonely night
Two hundred miles from home, perfectly alone

He had no apologies in his pocket
It was right there on his hand
A golden wedding band
When hearts began to pound, oh, but he stood his ground

She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why she's so alone
He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said, no

She said, "Is there nothing I can do to please you?"
And he said, "You make loving sound so easy
And it's hard to turn away and even harder to stay
And either way I go, oh, it's gonna be a long ride home"

She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why shes so alone
He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said, no, no, no, no

And as he walked out the door
She loved him all the more

She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why she's still alone
He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said
He was the only man who ever said, no
