Frustrated Cowboy

I’ve been a cowboy all my life

And I’ve rode the open range

Slept beneath the stars many a time

Never thought I’d need a change

And yes I’ve roped cattle

And I love the rodeo

Thought my life was heaven

No where left for me to go

But the open range

Can’t hold me in its arms

And though the starry nights

They hold a certain charm

And though I love this life

No matter how hard I try

I want a woman next to me

To comfort this frustrated cowboy

‘Cause at times it gets so lonely

Under the wide open sky

And though I love this life forever

I want more before I die

But the open range

Can’t hold me in its arms

And though the starry nights

They hold a certain charm

And though I love this life

No matter how hard I try

I want a woman next to me

To comfort this frustrated cowboy

I know she’s out there somewhere

Somewhere is where I want to be

So I will go and find this lady

And bring her back home with me

But the open range

Can’t hold me in its arms

And though the starry nights

They hold a certain charm

And though I love this life

No matter how hard I try

I want a woman next to me

To comfort this frustrated cowboy
