Michael Allen Ott: Music
Lonesome Cowboy
(Michael Allen Ott)
Michael Allen Ott
A million stars ablaze
In the Texas sky tonight.
Each one seems to sparkle
through the teardrops
in my eyes.
A lonesome coyote callin'
sends a shiver deep inside.
I'm a lonesome cowboy
on a midnight ride.
Lonesome cowboy
on a midnight ride.
Cussin' the darkness
and prayin' for the light.
The trail I'm on
won't lead me home
stil I ride on tonight.
I'm a lonesome cowboy
on a midnight ride.
I'll bet she's probably wonderin'
if I'm coming home.
Yesterday I left her cryin'
In old cowtown alone.
The love I thought
I'd left behind
is haunting me tonight
I'm a lonesome cowboy
on a midnight ride.
Lonesome cowboy
on a midnight ride.
Cussin' the darkness
and prayin' for the light.
The trail I'm on
won't lead me home
stil I ride on tonight.
I'm a lonesome cowboy
on a midnight ride.
I can't believe
that I would leave
her sweet love behind.
Pull around my reins
and sink my spurs
turn old paint on a dime
yes I'm headin' home tonight.
Lonesome cowboy
on a midnight ride.
Cussin' the darkness
and prayin' for the light.
The trail I'm on
will lead me home
if I ride on all night.
I'm a lonesome cowboy
on a midnight ride.
