Cowboy Blues Lyrics

Well there's a lonesome feelin' that comes over meWhen I hear that highway moan
I know it's where the good Lord meant for me to be
A dreamin' drifter far from homeI roam from town to town out on the interstate
I'm always only passin' throughI need my woman's lovin' she's so far away
I'm singin' the cowboy bluesStranger don't you know I'd like to be your friend
If I had the time to stayBut I'm a tumbleweed a blowin' in the wind
I've got to catch another stageI strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
I'm shootin' for the heart a lookin' in your eyesSingin' the cowboy blues
Sometimes I get to thinkin' 'bout settlin' downFade off into a memory
Every night that I step out to face the crowdI know this is the life for me
I strap on my guitar just like a .45I pray each night my aim is true
I'm shootin' for the heart a lookin' in your eyesI'm singin' the cowboy blues
Singin' the cowboy bluesSingin' the cowboy blues

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
